1. Church History can help us avoid bad theology.
2. We can learn from the greatest pastors & theologians of all time.
3. It can help us set/maintain traditional boundaries (History can serve as a great reference point for church related decisions we need to make in our time.)
4. Church History gives us broader perspective on the church, and reminds us not to be consumed with pessimism over the current problems faced by the church.
5. It’s exciting!
