By Tater (West Central Ohio)
This lives up to its "in plain English" title. The book is clear, unbiased and easy to read. In one day, I read a great concise overview in the context of world events.
By L. Schnee (Memphis, TN, US)
I bought this book for a college class. It was actually a very informative book. I learned a lot about the History of Christianity however it did not help me with the class as much as it was supposed to. This is a good book for someone who wants to know how the church has evolved over the centuries, good, bad and indifferent. The read is not too bad but some areas are a little tough. 3 stars for the read and 4 stars overall for this book.
By Bill S (New Jersey)
This large book provides an unusually complete and minimally biased history of the Christian Church. The well-known issues are well covered, along with topics and insights that are less known. It is a terrific text for self-study or group study, whether in churches or classrooms.
By R. Simpson (Oklahoma City OK)
This is the only book about church history I've read that really animates the characters and the situation and brings it alive. It is not a pedantic dry rendition with a bunch of dates and names.
By L. Simonitch (Texas)
A great guide for over 2,000 years of church history. For someone trying to get a big idea picture, this is a perfect book. Your intrest will be sparked and you will be better able to find more books on specific time periods and ideas that you want more knoweldge on. Buy it.
