This is a comprehensive, 30-Day “Blood, Ink, and Spirit” Bible Study that traces the history of the Christian Church from its beginnings to the modern era, framed by four distinct phases. It weaves together the theological disputes (the “Ink”) like the Arian controversy and the debate between Augustine vs. Pelagius, the broad historical context (the “Spirit”) of politics and empires such as Constantine’s pivot and the rise of Islam, and the human cost (the “Blood”) through stories of martyrdom, persecution under Rome and Diocletian, and forced conversion during the time of Charlemagne. The study progresses through the Dark Ages and the Reformation to the modern global church, using a unique blend of narrative, scriptural verses, and reflection questions designed for a 5–10 minute daily reading.
