A History of Christianity in the World : From Persecution to Uncertainty (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Not a bad read
Review: Manschreck's text was written for the intermediate student of Christian History. If you're looking for an intro text, this is not it. On the other hand, if you want something that will take you months to devour, this is still not it. The author does a good job in covering as much of christian history as the average reader can stand. Though he ignores the demise of paganism and because of the date of publication, it will not include any newer developments in Christianity. A good book, but try and buy a used copy, it's not worth the price of a new one.
