From beginning to end Bruce L. Shelly writes false conclusions about Jesus, the Old and New Testament, first century and later Christians. He has never connected the dots between the Old and New Testament and how the whole Bible is about Jesus. How can Bruce write as if he knows how Jesus thinks? Perhaps Bruce should open his heart and mind, re-read the Bible, ask many questions to people who have studied and lived the Word for many years, then perhaps he would have a more clear picture of how Jesus thinks. One does have to beleive who Jesus is, otherwise what he says does not matter.

The author fails to realize that the history of the Christian Church begins and ends with Orthodoxy. Don’t get this book.

It’s a basic, glossed-over, history. Barely a mention of the Borgias.

I always hate doing this to my own brethren but I could only read 3 hours of this. Wordy, boring and dry.

Church History in Plain Language, 3rd Edition
Bad history, bad theology, bad everything. Please do not waste your time on this book. Reads modern evangelical creedalism, separatism, and paranoia directly onto past eras of Christianity with no support. There are so many good books on Christian History. Go find one of those.
