Development of the Christian Church / G C of SDA's / (HB/1952-1952/C/USED)

This carefully-prepared book, DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, presents Jesus, His home, His nation, His followers, and His message. It tells about Him as a newborn Babe, as a Child, as a Boy, as a Young Man, and as a Man. It tells you how He lived and worked, and it tells you the results of His work. Then it takes up the lives and work of the men and women He left behind to represent Him. It also tells of the rapid decline, after the death of the apostles, of Christianity, introducing you to the causes for that period of religious, social, and political obscurity known as the Dark Ages.

The book has been divided into thirteen units, each marked off with a special sheet containing pictures of the unit and a characterization of the same. The units are not of equal length, but there is a convenient dividing point for the midyear examination. The units are divided into lessons of as nearly comparable length as possible.
