The Story of Christian Theology
Roger Olson
Olson gives you the lowdown on every century, though he's not always as objective as he could be.
From Cambridge to the World
Oliver Barclay
The story of student witness. It's like reading Acts volume 2.
Creeds, Councils, and Christ
Gerald Bray
The intro to read on the church in the first few centuries.
2000 Years of Christ's Power
N. R. Needham
Pretty hefty, but that's what gold's like.
