About this audiobook
"The present work has as its basis the series of five Short Histories by the same author, which appeared in the following order: The Reformation, 1884; The Early Church, 1886; The Medieval Church, 1887; The Modern Church in Europe, 1888; and The Church in the United States, 1890. The five volumes form a connected History of the Church nearly down to the present time." (from the preface) John Fletcher Hurst was an American bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He wrote the 5 histories as Chautauqua textbooks. The audio files are in the following order: Part 1: The Early Church (A.D. 30-750) Part 2: The Medieval Church (A.D. 750-1517) Part 3: The Reformation (A.D. 1517-1545) Part 4: The Modern Church in Europe (A.D. 1558-1892) Part 5: The Church in the United States (A.D. 1492-1892)
