Church History and Christian Biography

1. Sketches from Church History: An Illustrated history of 20 Centuries of Christ's Power by S.M. Houghton.

This book is a useful introduction to Church history. The book is highly readable and gives a good overview of Church history from a reformed perspective. The book discusses the Church Fathers, the rise of the Papacy, the Waldensians, the Protestant Reformation, the Great Awakening, the ministries of Charles Spurgeon and J.C. Ryle, etc. The book is not as deep as other works but is an ideal starting place for studying Church history.

1. History of the Waldensians by J.A. Wylie

The Waldensians were a group of orthodox Christians who remained separate from the apostasy of the Church of Rome during the Middle Ages. They denied the authority of the Pope and stood opposed to the false doctrines Rome. Due to their faithful witness, they were denounced as heretics and bitterly persecuted by the Roman Church. Wylie's history chronicles the history and beliefs of these servants of Christ.

Wylie's massive work on the Protestant Reformation is a forgotten classic. Wylie's goes into great detail in describing the great events surrounding the rise of Protestantism.

4. John Gill and the Cause of God and Truth by George M. Ella.

George Ella's biography of John Gill gives an overview of the life, beliefs, and ministry of John Gill. Gill was a leader amongst the Particular Baptists in the eighteenth century, whose writings are still a blessing to the Church generations later. Gill's verse by verse commentary is one of the greatest bible commentaries ever written. Ella exonerates Gill from the false charges of "Hyper-Calvinism" that have been levelled against him. Instead, Ella reveals the truth that Gill was a faithful minister of God's word and a theologian who understood the doctrines of free and sovereign grace far better than those who have denounced him.

5. Huntington: Pastor of Providence by George M. Ella

William Huntington was a man who lived an extraordinary life. Huntington was born very poor and lived under harsh conditions early in his life. Huntington was known as the "coal heaver" which was a job he performed for a time. After Huntington came to know Christ, God raised him up as a Christian minister in the Church of Jesus Christ. Although a man of little formal education, he was man clearly taught of God. Huntington's ministry was blessed by the Holy Spirit, and he came to lead one of the largest Churches in London. Huntington was a man who was beloved by his friends and bitterly slandered by his enemies. Huntington's preaching and writings were a hammer against those caught up in dead professions of faith. Huntington left no room to hide for those caught up in pride, self-righteousness, and those believing that their law keeping would make them right with Christ. Huntington's teaching that the gospel and not the law was the rule of life for believers meant that his critics accused him of antinomianism. This false charge did not stop God from powerfully working through his ministry. Ella's biography gives a portrait of the life and beliefs of William Huntington.

6. The Seceders by J.H. Philpot.

The Seceders is the story of J.C. Philpot and William Tiptaft. Philpot and Tiptaft were both ministers in the Church of England during the nineteenth century.

Islam

1. Did Mohammed exist? An Inquiry into Islam's Obscure Origins by Robert Spencer

Spencer is a secular author who has written a book showing that historical and archeological evidence do not support the mainstream historical narrative regarding Islam's origins. The book shows that there is very little historical evidence that supports the claims that Islam was founded by a Prophet named Mohammed operating in Mecca in the seventh century. Mohammed is mentioned only a few times in the Quran and even the official canonization of the Quran did not take place until the 1920's at Cairo University. A fascinating read.

2. Early Islamic Qiblas by Dan Gibson.

This reference book examines early Islamic mosques and their qiblas. A qibla is a marker in mosque that shows the Muslims in the mosques what direction to pray towards. Today, all mosques have their qiblas pointing towards Mecca. Gibson's book shows that most of the earliest mosques had qiblas that did not point towards Mecca but instead point towards Jerusalem or Petra. Gibson's research shows that Mecca was not the center of the Arabian religion that emerged in the seventh century that became Islam. Gibson's findings have far reaching implications for Islamic history.

This book examines the history of the Nabatean people that lived in the Middle East before the rise of Islam. Gibson's book is the result of his years of archeological and historical research in the region. The book is helpful for understanding that the religion and beliefs of the Nabateans was the foundation for the religion that evolved into Islam. Islam's origins are different than what we have been told and the history of the Nabateans helps us to understand that truth.

4. Meccan Trade and the rise of Islam by Patricia Crone.

Patricia Crone is a Professor of Islamic history that has extensively researched the history of Mecca. Her research shows that Mecca was not a thriving trading city in the seventh century. This realization contradicts the history that has been taught about Mecca for centuries. This significance of this information is that it shows that the history surrounding the origins of Islam is inaccurate.
