An excellent account of Christian history; scholarly and very readableBy MarkI've read a few chapters of this book in proof form prior to publication. Mullin's gift is the ability to make history accessible and interesting; while not compromising on scholarly foundations or analytical complexity. His insights into Christian history are new and illuminating; and yet ring with the truth of careful; sound scholarship and analysis. Anyone; be they student; scholar; believer; inquirer or skeptic will find this work challenging; intriguing and very rewarding. Mullin is that rare academic who is brilliant scholar; illuminating teacher; and an excellent writer. This is a great place to begin a study of Christian history or to refresh one's knowledge. This work belongs on the bookshelves of anyone at all interested in the history of Christianity.
