| Summary | "A Key to the Knowledge of Church History (Ancient)" by John Henry Blunt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide readers with a concise overview of the origins, development, and state of the Christian Church up until the end of the 15th century. It focuses on skirting the complexities of pre-Reformation Church history while emphasizing the main truths and principles that will guide further exploration of the subject. At the start of the text, the author introduces the concept of the Church, describing it in both its external and spiritual dimensions. The Church is portrayed as both a corporate entity and a mystical body united under Christ. Initial discussions center on the foundation of the Church among the Jews, particularly highlighting the significance of key events such as the establishment of Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. Blunt also begins to outline the role of the Apostles, particularly Peter, in laying the foundation for the Church, emphasizing the transformative impact of the Holy Spirit on their ministry following Pentecost.
