About this app
The full human story of Christian history — saints and scholars, popes and reformers, wars and councils, and a hundred masterworks of Christian art.
Christian History Daily is a daily reader. Each day at a time you choose, the app opens on stories from that calendar date across twenty centuries. Bach completing the Mass in B Minor. Augustine weeping in a Milan garden. The walls of Constantinople breached after a fifty-three-day siege.
Read what catches you. Follow it as deep as you like. Every story is a doorway — themes, scripture, people and places, one tap further in.
THE MASTERWORKS
A hundred of the great works of Christian art, each with the story of who made it, who paid for it, and what it was for. Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece. Rublev's Trinity. Caravaggio's Calling of Saint Matthew. Grünewald's Isenheim altarpiece. Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights.
And not only Europe. A gospel leaf from Ethiopia. An Armenian silver gospel cover. A Coptic textile of the Good Shepherd. A Mughal painter's Virgin, made in India for a Muslim court. An altarpiece from Cusco. Open any of them full-screen and look as closely as you like.
HISTORY, HERITAGE AND TRADITION
More than two hundred new stories on where the customs came from and why they stuck. Where carols came from. Where halos came from. Why Peter holds the keys. What the goose has to do with Michaelmas. Why ashes go on the forehead. The sayings of Jesus found in an Egyptian rubbish heap.
NOW IN SPANISH
The whole app now reads in Latin American Spanish — every story, every screen, every notification — and sources open in Spanish wherever a Spanish source exists.
ECUMENICAL, ON PURPOSE
Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and Reformed traditions are treated evenhandedly, in triumph and in fault. Aquinas and Calvin and Chrysostom and Wesley all appear. History, not devotion.
MORE THAN 470 AUTHORED STORIES
Biblical events, the parables, hymns and the origins of sacred music, patristic and scholastic landmarks, the heritage and traditions of the Christian world, and the bits of liturgical etymology that make Christian vocabulary make sense. Every day of the year is covered.
ELEVEN CATEGORIES
Pick at least three. The app surfaces only what overlaps your interests.
· Biblical — Old and New Testament events, apostolic era
· Saints & Martyrs — lives, deaths, canonizations, feast days
· Wars & Conflicts — Crusades, Reformation wars, modern Christian witness
· Reformation — Luther, Calvin, Trent, denominational splits
· Missions & Evangelism — missionary journeys, Bible translation
