Reviews

[Michael Vincent · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some important factual and historical information about preachers from America and England in the last 150 years. However, this book is reminder of how much more liberal the church in the United States has become. As it moved into the 20th century, most , if not all of the presenters were liberal in their theology. This lecture series continues today at Yale.
