Historical Studies in Church History

Series Overview

The Historical Studies in Church History series is a comprehensive 52-volume collection designed to give readers a full, undergraduate-level understanding of Christianity’s development from the First Century, through the Reformation eras and beyond. The series places particular focus on the early Church—its leadership, practices, and worship life as described in the Book of Acts and the writings of the first few centuries—while also exploring the key theologians, councils, and movements that shaped later Christian thought.

​

New titles are added each week, gradually building a complete library that guides students, scholars, and enthusiasts through foundational works in Christian history. Readers will encounter seminal writings such as:

• Foundations of Faith: introductory texts on church history and the formation of Scripture

• Early Church Historians & Practices: Eusebius, Socrates Scholasticus, Sozomen, Theodoret, and Evagrius; detailed insight into worship, liturgy, and community life in the first centuries

• Apostolic Fathers & Early Christian Writings: Didache, 1 & 2 Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, and early apocryphal narratives

• Patristic and Theological Texts: Irenaeus, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Athanasius, Basil, and Gregory of Nazianzus

• Medieval Scholasticism & Monasticism: John Cassian, John Chrysostom, Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux

• Councils, Reformation, & Biographies: selections on the ecumenical councils, Reformation writings, and lives of saints including Anthony, Patrick, Monica, and Cuthbert

​

Our goal is to provide readers with a structured study of church history, offering a single, cohesive course that equips anyone with a deep understanding of Christian history, theology, and spirituality—including the life and worship of the earliest Christian communities.
