Christianity through the centuries : a history of… by Earle Edwin Cairns
A nice textbook-style telling of church history from a somewhat conservative perspective.
This edition of Christianity Through the Centuries discussing events and developments in the church into the 1970s. The author not only explains the development of doctrines, movements, and institutions, but also gives attention to "the impact of Christianity on its times and to the mark of the times on Christianity."
