Bishop Christopher Wordsworth wrote his Church History as a narrative of “the city of God” against “the city of this world.” This tension drives his account forward from Jesus’ ministry to the Council of Chalcedon. Wordsworth’s Church History is not rigidly chronological, but rather follows the lives of major figures in church history and discusses the ideas and events that surrounded them. The nephew of the William Wordsworth, the great Romantic poet, Wordsworth himself was an accomplished writer and poet, and his Church History is an eminently readable classic that presents an account of church history and evangelical analysis that is engaging and full of character.
