Church History
Nick Needham is a Church History lecturer at Highland Theological College in Dingwall. Previous to this, he taught Systematic Theology at the Scottish Baptist College in Glasgow. From 2004 to 2021, he was the minister of Inverness Reformed Baptist church. He is author of the highly collectable 2,000 Years of Christ’s Power series.
Nick Needham's volumes on church history explain everything that
someone new to the subject might not understand. At the same time,
they achieve a depth of detail to interest those who already know
something of the subject. We use them as standard texts at LTS and
look forward eagerly to forthcoming volumes.

For many years now I have said: if you want a thorough, learned but
accessible and well-written history of the church, read Nick
Needham's 2,000 Years of Christ's Power. Now, with the fourth
volume finally available, Christians have an excellent resource for
improving their knowledge of the history of their faith. Highly
recommended.

It is a brave historian who tackles the extremely challenging task
of writing the 2,000-year history of the Church. Well, Nick Needham
has more than risen to the challenge. This eagerly-awaited fourth
volume has been well worth the wait and, not to pressure our
brother scholar, we now look forward to the concluding volume!
*Michael A. G. Haykin*
What makes the books so useful is that in a non-technical (but not
simplistic) way, they bring out the main story line of the history
of the church through the centuries. But in addition, and most
helpfully, each chapter concludes with a selection of writings
(translated of course!) from people discussed in the chapter. This
means that we are not only told what certain people believed, but
we are able to read some of their actual writings -- and this is
often extremely illuminating.
