I read this book a little over a year ago. It was really good. Great summary of early church history that touched on familiar topics with additional details as well as some lesser-known stories. The narrative history writing style was very engaging and made it a more enjoyable read. Learned about some people that haven't typically received a lot of attention in other church history books I've read. It was heavily footnoted which was great because I am a big fan of footnotes. Was very straightforward with some uncomfortable topics which was nice. The fact that flawed individuals were those that helped restore the church shouldn't come as a surprise and their shortcomings shouldn't impact one's faith. Just a bunch of really good people trying their best to do what's right. Really enjoyed this one.
