You'd probably want to start with church history and how it started from the book of Acts and went through the dark ages and came out of it. And how some moved on to discover more lost truths and some remained. Think of it like a river, and some choose to stay, creating pools while others move on..
My dad used to teach me and I learned it from him in Bible School.. he's really deep and quick and to be honest, after listening to him for the last 3 decades or so, I still can't grasp all of it. But he always draws it as a river, with pools branching out of it. And then with unreadable handwriting all over that. I guess you can start off with Generations and some Kevin Swanson books on church history but I haven't read any of them yet. I just think that they should be rather complete. As for the last few denominations.. i.e. Apostolic and Prophetic, you wouldn't be able to find any books, I don't think. Because after Apostolic and Prophetic would be Kingdom Ideology.
That's why my church decided against being a denomination and now we are a movement because denominations are stagnant and we want to just keep going....
