This is our full list of representative Christians through the centuries.
It’s a list that will certainly grow, as we work through more stories and as we add contemporary Christians who go onto be part of the great cloud of witnesses that is referred to in Scripture. To read more about any of the Christians below, please click on their image. you can then move back and forth via the post links below each article or return to searching with links in the header and footer. The order has a bit of theology embedded in it. We choose with the birth day or year of the person, not their death day. We understand that God knit us together and called us well before we returned a call to him, that he knew us even when we didn’t fully know him. We trust the multiple ways to search will alleviate any misgivings you might find in the order.
