2000 Years of Christ's Power, Volume 5: The Age of Enlightenment and Dawning

Thoroughly researched with beautifully linked arguments, biographies, context and discussions, Needham provides a riveting text: balancing fact and understanding in the wisdom of experience. The book offers a wealth of knowledge for pastors, missionaries, students and professors as they pursue their own education into the response of Christians during the 18th century towards these shifts in the tides of the affairs of men.

• Much anticipated 5th volume in Needham’s series
• Story of Church in 18th Century
• Engaging storytelling

Endorsements

As he assesses the European Enlightenment, evangelical revivals … and developments within Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy from his consistently Reformed perspective, Needham provides illuminating reading for those who share that perspective, but perhaps even more for those who do not.
—Mark A. Noll, author of America’s Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794–1911

As always, Needham remains attentive to the big picture, yet he also manages to maintain a grasp of the lesser known details throughout. Especially notable is Needham’s inclusion of the Eastern and Russian Orthodox Church. Highly recommended.
—Jonathan Master, President, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, South Carolina

These volumes should be compulsory reading, first for pastors and elders called to teach and defend the faith, but also for Christians in general who desire to deepen their knowledge of the Saviour’s power throughout the church’s history.
—Ian Hamilton, President, Westminster Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Newcastle, UK

… helpfully delineates the variegated state of professing Christendom in this crucial era with magisterial vim and verve. Highly recommended!
