A Survey Through Church History - W. Robert Godfrey
Gregory, Missions & Islam - P2:E3 - A Survey of Church History

As the sixth century transitioned into the seventh, events were being set in motion that would profoundly influence the political, cultural, and religious landscape of Europe and the Mediterranean world.
