Shapers of Christianity

“Dr Needham relentlessly reminds us that history is His-Story, the story of God’s saving purposes in this world. This is a necessary, even vital, reminder that the unfolding of history is not haphazard, or determined by powerful personalities and socio-economic events. Our God reigns.”

“The apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 4:6 that Christ is the human face of God. In similar fashion, godly individuals are the human face of church history. In this series of studies, I give some brief sketches of twelve Christians from the past two thousand years who stand out for their human interest and theological significance. I hope these sketches will help to kindle a spiritual interest in God’s people and God’s work across the ages. ”
