Review:CHURCH HISTORY IN PLAIN LANGUAGE by Bruce L. Shelley

Thiis has become a classic in its field, and it's easy to see why. It's very good.

Church history is an interesting subject that is too often obscured by layers of theology and jargon. It can be very difficult to dig down to what actually happened. What Shelley does so well is to strip away most of those layers and present the most unvarnished church history I've ever seen.

Of course, everyone has biases, including Shelley and I. He works hard to keep his out of the way, though, and I recommend this book.
