Praise for the Print Edition
This series of books, issuing from editors in whom I have great confidence, ‘turns history upside down’ and reveals what times and events were like for Christians—and sometimes their rivals and enemies. . . . These stories may come up from the basement of church history, but news about their existence deserves to be shouted from the housetops!
—Martin E. Marty, Fairfax M. Cone Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of the History of Modern Christianity, University of Chicago Divinity School
The people of God—the body of Christ, the church!—are finally having their story told. Highly recommended.
—Mark U. Edwards Jr., advisory member of the Faculty of Divinity and senior adviser to the Dean, Harvard Divinity School
