T.R.Glover is an excellent writer and his history and classical literature knowledge is vast. His description of the early church is well represented against the backdrop of paganism. He manages to depict Christianity without the superfluous spiritisms that add an allure of magic to a religion, but instead he portrays a factual representation of this new religion. His views are very sober, avoiding mysticism and other fanciful imaginations that so often root themselves in a religion. He does the Christian religion justice by giving it a temperate evaluation.
