George Waddington’s A History of the Church from Earliest Ages to the Reformation synthesizes fifteen centuries of church history into 3 volumes. Instead of following the chronological history of the church century by century, this classic church history is instead divided up according to connected themes and events. This enables an easier understanding of complex events and the consequences that cascade through hundreds of years, from the apostles in the first century to the beginnings of the Reformation in the fifteenth century.

Outside the first century, perhaps no period of church history is more rich or controversial than the Reformation. In the follow up to his History of the Church from the Earliest Ages to the Reformation, George Waddington gives an account of the early Reformation via the life of its famous catalyzer: Martin Luther. This classic nineteenth-century history begins with Luther’s upbringing and ends full-circle with the great reformer’s death. Waddington writes with pious purpose, focusing on the ecclesiological and theological import of the Reformation.
