The Big 5: Books on Church History

I have been asked by a friend about my favorite books on church history, so I thought I would throw it out for everyone. Try to limit to the most expansive books on church history, at least for your first few. If you want to add a couple of faves from certain time periods (reformation, early church, baptist, puritan, etc), feel free to do that as well. But make sure they are books about the history of that time, not books from that time. And do your best to stay to 5.

So, what are your big 5 books on church history?

Books on Revival

Here's a list of books I own on revival that I'll be using in one way or another for my current sermon series Revival: Longing for a Surprising Work of God.

I tried to list them in the order of how much I expect to use (or depend on) each one for this series. I'm referencing a number of other things as well (articles, audio, websites) but this list is for books alone.

UPDATE 2.8.11: I added some new books at the bottom, and a few comments in parentheses where I have something to say, so far.

• Revival | Martyn Lloyd-Jones (classic)
• A God-Sized Vision | Collin Hansen & John Woodbridge (so good, fun read)
• Revival Year Sermons | C.H. Spurgeon (great, moving)
• Lectures on Revival | WB Sprague (helpful)
• The Power of Prayer: The New York Revival of 1858 | Samuel Prime
• The Works of Jonathan Edwards (2 Vols)
• The Puritans: Their Origins & Successors | D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
