• Describes the principal sects and heretics of early Christianity, including discussions of the theological tendencies of these opponents.
• Covers more than 600 years of church history.

What a total blessing, an amazing resource! Church history and it's particpents I find fascinating, this module is so well laid out. Thank you Josh. Seriously, one of the heartaches I see happening is that the Chruch is quickly losing her history. This opens the believers up to all manner of accusation by the ill informed.

Again, thanks Josh. God bless the work of your hands and strengthen your heart. lg

Thanks Brother Josh,

I echo the thanks and compliments of the others. I'm just now getting to see how to use the wealth of information in this module. I opted for the dictionary version, and it's working perfectly. I was very happy to find out that it displays in the larger fonts I have set for my weak eyes. Thanks sincerely for all of your hard work. This is a lot of hard to find information all in one handy resource. I highly recommend it for everyone who wants to know more about church history. Beautiful Work!
