Church History for Modern Ministry

With all the pressing demands of modern ministry, why make time to learn church history? Is it relevant to worship and ministry today? Pastor Dayton Hartman argues that church history is not old news, but a vital component of a healthy ministry.

In Church History for Modern Ministry, Hartman explores the importance of church history and shows how an understanding of our past can help us address contemporary issues. The faithfulness, discipleship, and perseverance of the early church can help today's church stand firm in times of change.

Dayton Hartman is lead pastor at Redeemer Church in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. He serves as an adjunct professor for Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and Judson College. He attended Liberty University, where he received an MA in global apologetics. He holds a PhD in church and dogma history from North-West University (South Africa).
