A WALK THROUGH HISTORY
NancyH
(5 Sterne)
Great book! A walk through early Church history with some of the most notable people of the era. I imagine this would have been family reading before the days of radio and TV. The author doesn't flinch before some of the harsher realities of human nature, but shows us the flaws as well as the strengths of these characters. For good or ill, these folks greatly shaped the very culture that allows me to listen to these narratives without cost anywhere, anytime, any place.

This is a subject of interest as I am a Christian but is writen with a humanistic worldview and so practically spoiled. The readers do a good job.
VERY PEDESTRIAN

Simplistic sketches of these men may serve to pique interest in them, but the offhand inclusion of famous, but often unsubstantiated, myths detracts from the books usefulness. Nevertheless, it does serve as an introduction to these sometimes overlooked personages. The readers all did fine jobs.

protestant stories mocking catholics

The stories become increasingly protestant to the point that they become anti catholic. Even including protestant heretics as saints. readers were good.
