Basics of Latin introduces students, independent learners, and homeschoolers to the basics of Latin grammar. Readings and exercises are all taken from texts in the Christian tradition and enable students to develop their skills of the language as well as grow in their appreciation for the breadth and depth of ancient Christian thought.

Christianity is a global faith. Today, people are increasingly aware that Christianity extends far beyond Europe and North America, permeating the Eastern and Southern hemispheres. What we may know less well is that Christianity has always been a global faith. A vast untold story waits to be heard beyond the familiar tale of how the Christian faith spread across Europe. Not only was Jesus born in Asia, but in the early years of the church Christianity found fertile soil in Africa and soon extended to East Asia as well. In this brief introduction to world Christian history, Derek Cooper explores the development of Christianity across time and the continents. Guiding readers to places like Iraq, Ethiopia and India, Scandanavia, Brazil and Oceania, he reveals the fascinating-and often surprising-history of the church.
