Title: More Indoctrination than History
Review: As a history student, I found this book to be extremely disappointing. Rather than taking an unbiased approach to examining the history of Christianity, the authors here seem more concerned with converting the reader to their particular brand of evangelical Christianity than with educating the reader on Christianity's history. I found the scholarship in this book to be extremely sloppy, and there were numerous unsubstantiated and speculative claims as to the nature of everyday life for historical Christians. Assertions that the Christian religion is true are laid down thick, and few dubious church claims are questioned or examined. This book presents some outrageous accounts--including the resurrection of Jesus and "tongues of fire appear[ing] before believers' heads"--as historical fact.Overall, this book is better suited to a religious seminary than a history classroom. You'll find no hardcore history here.
