2000 Years of Christ's Power Volume 2: The Middle Ages
The Middle Ages were dubbed the 'Dark Ages' almost before they had begun to draw to a close. Ever since then, they have continued to be seen as a time of hardship and oppression, full of popes and crusades.
However, in this second volume of 2,000 Years of Christ's Power, another side of the Middle Ages shines through: The continual workings of Christ as He built His kingdom through figures such as Thomas a Kempis and John Wycliffe - who lived and struggled during these centuries. This was far from a period of stagnation; rather it was the fire from which the Reformation was kindled.

"For many years now I have said: if you want a thorough, learned but accessible and well-written history of the church, read Nick Needham's 2,000 Years of Christ's Power... Christians have an excellent resource for improving their knowledge of the history of their faith. Highly recommended."?
