This dumb book is out of stock literally everywhere, which wouldn't be a problem if there was an eBook online ANYWHERE. Don't know why it's so hard to upload an online version, but it should exist right now on Amazon. The book is whatever, not really that interesting but I guess not the worst I've ever read.

Read for theology class.

Helpful, clear, and consice.

Kudos for the attempt to remain unbaised and scholarly while at the same time teaching from the Catholic perspective.
(Ex. Generous attitude towards Luther as a person, dispassionate tone discussing atheism and modern heresies etc)

Really enjoyed reading this book from a secular viewpoint. It offers a clear, concise history of Christianity that coincides with the rest of world history. I found it engaging and was very pleased with how, despite the authors' clearly coming from a Catholic viewpoint, they approached topcics' and difficult histories with an open and critical eye.

Really very, very helpful. One of my favourites when I started at college. I have a bit more here about it in my book reviews here:

An excellent historical approach to the Christian tradition. Required reading for my students.
