| Summary |
"Church History, Volume 1 (of 3)" by J. H. Kurtz is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a comprehensive examination of the development of the Christian Church from its inception up to modern times. It covers various themes such as the founding of the church, its early struggles, doctrinal developments, and the influence of external cultural forces. The opening of the book presents the context and significant foundations for its exploration of church history, focusing on the idea and task of church history itself. It delineates the chronological structure the author will use to discuss the church's evolution, emphasizing the importance of categorizing information according to periods and departments of church life. Topics such as the early church's relationship with surrounding cultures, the establishment of church governance, and the development of Christian worship practices are introduced, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of centuries of ecclesiastical history.
