Why Church History Matters – Shaun Rieley

Many Christians who are frustrated with denominationalism wish they could just go back to the early Church and start Christianity over from scratch. Unfortunately, that impulse hasn’t resulted in a purer, more unified brand of Christianity, but rather more new denominations with their own individual interests and emphases. Shaun Rieley explains why Church history matters, why the development of doctrine is necessary and good, and how there’s a sense of relief in being able to trust a Church that’s survived and even thrived over the course of 2000 years.
