I just wanted to remind you all that Sketches from Church History is an excellent book for writing about early church history.
Have any of you used this book? I own it, and have not read all of it. But I'm definitely thinking of using it in a possible future early church history short story.

Is it biographical, Elly?

It's not an actual biographical book, it's more of a history book, with different people and what they did as well as different happenings.

I have not heard of it before, Elly, although we do have a few books about early church history. Thanks for sharing!

That book is really good, but even better if you can get your hands on it is the first two volumes of Philip Schaff's "History of the Christian Church."
