Einführung in die Kirchengeschichte

At the centre of this introduction is a brief description of church history from antiquity to the present, which sketches the most important lines of development of the Catholic Church and the Protestant churches shaped by the Reformation in a way that is both well-founded and generally comprehensible. In addition, a chapter provides a concentrated introduction to the history of the subject, its most important questions and the study of sources. An extensive appendix with carefully selected and introduced bibliography, chronological table and tables makes this introduction an indispensable vade mecum for all those interested in general history, theology and cultural history.
