What might have ended up as a dry history actually reads more like a thriller as it describes the evolution and history of the early church. Goudge is an 'amateur'... but for me that's not negative. He brings a passion and excitement to his work that you don't see in more academic writing. DB Alimere
This is a very good, thorough presentation. I've been aware of the scholarship in the field of early Christianity for several decades, but there were some interesting surprises. A good, thought-provoking read! darkisland51
