When does church history begin? Is it with Luther or the apostles? Or last year? Do the things the church argued about 2,000 years ago still matter? And if all of this matters—the creeds and the controversies and the commitment of ordinary Christians—how do you learn about it? My parents introduced me to church history. I remember spending my Sunday afternoons listening to my dad read aloud various biographies of church leaders.
