“5 Minutes in Church History is wonderful for all of the adult and young adult generations. We are currently in a phase of our cultural history where 5 minutes is stretching the shortening attention spans of each successive generation, (And even generations are shortening. Where once they were 40 years long, now each decade is called one generation or another.) and history is, well, history. While Christians may feel some kinship to the apostles and the 1st century church, the period between the apostles and our parents or grandparents is empty for most of us. We need church history by the teaspoonful to accustom or tastebuds and whet our appetites for larger servings. That red line which runs through every chapter of the Old and New Testaments did not stop at the cross; it runs on through the Book of Revelations, and we are along that line somewhere. We study genealogy to discover on whose shoulders we stand; we study church history to discover on whose shoulders we stand, and we are the stronger for our study.
Another effect of our current culture is the way we are convinced that we do not have time to add one more thing to our schedules, and “a minute or two” could be hours. But it is really, really hard to deny a firm 5 minutes a week for something of such value and interest, although it is likely to consume your thoughts and your heart for much longer than that.
5 Minutes in Church History is a ministry to and for today’s church.”

“I find these podcasts very interesting. Little tidbits you wouldn't know unless you spent a lot of time studying church history. I really would not mind longer lessons in church history. Learn while I do laundry and vacuum.”Read full review »
