About this ebook
In this popular introduction to church history, now in its third edition, Mark Noll isolates key events that provide a framework for understanding the history of Christianity. The book presents Christianity as a worldwide phenomenon rather than just a Western experience.
Now organized around fourteen key moments in church history, this well-received text provides contemporary Christians with a fuller understanding of God as he has revealed his purpose through the centuries. This new edition includes a new preface; updates throughout the book; revised "further readings" for each chapter; and two new chapters, including one spotlighting Vatican II and Lausanne as turning points of the recent past.
Students in academic settings and church adult education contexts will benefit from this one-semester survey of Christian history.

Turning Points is a great read. Noll expresses just enough of the philosophical/religious ideas raised in this mostly historical book to satisfy the curiosities that naturally arise in the narrative without getting too dry or confusing. The result is a clear account of a confusing topic that's pleasant to read. But where the author gets 5 stars, Google Play gets none. Every time a dash is used (which is often), the book displays the words on either side of the dash with neither a dash or a space between them. Super annoying. Someone, please fix this!
