4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful, but not incredible,

This review is from: Charts of Ancient and Medieval Church History (Paperback)
I got this book as a recommended, but not required text for a church history class. For the most part the charts are really just very nice Powerpoint graphics. They can help to visualize some things, but they are hardly packed with information. When I think "charts" I think information, not just pretty pictures.
I do have a feeling that I will use the CD for presentations if I ever have to teach on any of these subjects. I think that is where the book really shines. I don't think it's as useful for the students as it is for the teacher.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Charts of Ancient and Medieval Church History (Paperback)
This work is an excellent source for visualizing concepts of church history during its early years. The charts are well done and organized. The included CD-Rom includes Power Point presentations of the charts without the footnotes and makes use in a classroom situation easy. The limited copy permission makes this an invaluable tool in studying and teaching church history.

Useful but CD lacking,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Charts of Ancient and Medieval Church History (Paperback)
Although the charts are useful, the CD would be much more useful if the comments in the printed charts were in the powerpoint material as "Notes". In order for this to be completely useful as a training tool, those printed comments for each chart must be typed into the powerpoint slides on the notes pages for each slide.
