Kids Talk Church History

In the 19th century, an Anglican priest named John Henry Newman proposed a return to the Medieval church to pursue a greater devotion. Eventually, Newman became Roman Catholic and is now considered a Roman Catholic saint. While we might disagree with his conclusions, we can learn a lot from the questions he raised. Join Linus, Leia, and Christian as they learn about Newman and his questions from Dr. Carl Trueman, Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania.

F. W. Walther is well known in Lutheran circles but less so in other churches. He is important for his insistence on the true gospel - the good news that Christ has done everything that's necessary for our salvation. He is also a good example of facing new challenges with humility and courage. Join Linus, Leia, and Christian as they discuss the importance of C. F. W. Walther with Dr. Larry Rast, president and professor of American Christianity and American Lutheranism at Concordia Theological Seminary in Indiana.

We often hear of the 18th-century revivals in England and America, but we rarely hear that there was a major revival in Geneva, Switzerland – a revival that spread to many other countries of the world. Join Sean and Isaac as they discuss this important time in history with Jean Decorvet, President and professor of theological studies at Haute école de théologie protestante (HET-PRO).

In the 19th century, an English pastor named Charles Spurgeon earned the nickname of “Prince of Preachers.” Thousands of people traveled to London to hear him preach. But it was not just because he had a way with words. He really was able to communicate the gospel like few others, and he truly cared for others. Learn more about Spurgeon and his interesting life, as Sean and Isaac chat with Dr. Geoff Chang, Assistant Professor of Church History and Historical Theology and Curator of the Spurgeon Library at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

We are breaking off from our journey through the 19th century to talk about an interesting book that was recently published by P&R – an illustrated version of John Calvin's Institutes, geared toward young readers.

Join Linus, Leia, and Sean as they chat with Martin and Joy Williams about turning Calvin's important work into a comic book kids can understand.
