Kevin Ressler rated it 3 of 5 stars
Recommends it for: Seminary Students and Lay Church Historians

It is a good book. Nothing exemplarily exciting one way or another. It is a good primer, so those who already know contemporary academic models of history and the mainstream reasons for church historians specifically to use that method will find this book a bit pedantic. It's an easy read, so even for those people, it isn't but an hour and a half bother to read anyway and he makes interesting illustrations and provides helpful charts anyone can use as a reviewing thought process.
