Very informative

[Ashley Reynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great for a general progression of Christian doctrine for those making an initial entry into the subject (like me)

[Luke Thigpen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great overview of Christian history. Bernard always presents his thoughts and research in a way that is easily followed and understood.

[Nicholas A. Gilbert · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have looked for a book along the same theme and ideas and I have found Bernard did a fantastic job. My main desire is that I want more footnotes and documentation for a lot of the quotes statements and facts.

My only regret is that I did not purchase the full three volume set (which I will be doing). It is wonderfully concise and easy to follow, with an apostolic perspective on each doctrinal development. It also attempts to follow the thread of an apostolic doctrinal remnant wherever that historical information was available.

Brilliant scholarship!

I like the fact that this text is easily accessible to laypeople, avoiding overly technical terms. While it takes one through a panoramic view of Church history and giving honour to whom honour is due.

Great educational read on true Church history.
