Title: A fair introduction and interesting study
Review: There seem to be few "secular" works to cover how the Christian religion rose from obscure Jewish cult to the official religion of the greatest empire of the time. This book helps to fill that void and accomplishes the task objectively and in a relatively acceptable depth for most readers. For further study, I would also highly recommend the works of Dr. Bart Ehrman (a favorite of this reviewer so I am a little biased) on the early church. An objective treatment of this subject but not the only one and not the best.
Is the review positive or negative?
