This is a book whose honesty, scholarship, and general attractiveness commend it to even the nonreligious reader.

If you have only one church history book, this should be it. No other survey so attractively combines accuracy and readability with an abundance of well-chosen illustrations. It will please both those who like to read about the past and those who never knew how interesting it could be.
