John Henry Kurtz’s Church History provides a comprehensive examination of the Christian church, from its beginnings to the late-nineteenth century. Kurtz’s history of the church offers a historical analysis of both the German church specifically and the Christian church as a whole. This collection comprises all three volumes of Kurt’s Church History, each covering a different historical period, from the life of Christ and the church’s emergence from Judaic and pagan nations, to the state of modern Catholicism and Protestantism in the nineteenth century. These texts also dig into the importance of church history as they investigate historical theologies and obstacles of the Christian church, as well as the roots of apologetics, science, philosophy, and other significant trends. Church History is translated by John Macpherson, who thoughtfully examined Kurtz’s original—and often only available in German—source texts and replaced them with similar or corresponding English texts that are more familiar and accessible to an English audience.
