Superb History May 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Since I know little about religious history, I was excited to see a book like this. I was not disappointed. The material was superb. The authors write very clearly and help even someone like me learn so much. I have recommended this book to friends and wish it could be taught in schools.
