Summary "Sketches of Church History, from A.D. 33 to the Reformation" by Rev. J. C. Robertson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work offers a detailed exploration of the development of the Christian Church, tracing its evolution from the time of the Apostles through significant events leading up to the Reformation. The book likely delves into key figures, doctrinal developments, and external challenges faced by the Church during its formative years. The opening of this historical work sets the stage for a deep examination of the early Christian Church, beginning with the events of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles. Robertson describes the rapid spread of Christianity following the transformative experiences of the Apostles and their mission to spread the Gospel across the Roman Empire. He highlights key figures such as St. Peter and St. Paul, their persecutions, and the establishment of ecclesiastical structures. The initial chapters introduce the complex relationships between the Church and various Roman authorities, framing a narrative of belief, sacrifice, and the triumph of faith against persecution.
