The Scottish clergyman James White devotes a chapter to each century of the Christian era, beginning with the emperors from Augustus to Trajan and moving through the barbarian kingdoms, the Crusades, the Reformation and the revolutions of the modern age. Each chapter opens with lists of rulers, authors and churchmen before a flowing narrative of the period’s events and character.
