Title: A better recommendation
Product review: A much better and more scholarly book on this subject is Stephen K. Ray's wonderful text, "Upon This Rock" which can be found on Amazon.I recommend that you read Ray's book before reading Svendsen's. While both men are scholars in their own right, Svenden is hampered by a very narrow 20th century "evangelical" viewpoint that refuses to take into account the actual history of the Catholic Church from Jesus onwards, and also ignores the extensive writings of the Church Fathers, a vital task that Stephen Ray has carried off magnificently.The Church Fathers consistently point to the unity and authority of the Catholic Church, a fact of history that Svendsen has unfortunately missed completely.
