Title: laymen, do not try this at home
Review: It's possible this is a great book for theologians to read from cover to cover but I don't have the credentials to judge that and this book has little value to anyone else.From the description, I believed I would easily be able to look up the different creeds and understand the basic philosophies. This is simply not possible. The book is laid out in a time line approach and not indexable by creed. It's also a massive book with a lot of dry, arcane information so a cover to cover read won't appeal to the casual reader.
