5.0 out of 5 stars A Wealth of Information, April 18, 2000

Jim Viens (Olathe, Kansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: History of the Christian Church, 8 vols. (Hardcover)

This series is one of the most informative I've found on any topic. Schaff uses copious footnotes and scripture references to back what he says. He has an authoritative knowledge base and has a firm grip on the early church fathers and ancient church documents. The only complaint I have is that several of the notes in my edition are in Greek, Latin and Hebrew, none of which the typical layman would be well versed in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Know your history!, July 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: History of the Christian Church, 8 vols. (Hardcover)

This is a great series for any Christian who would like to know more about the church. Schaff is an amazing writer giving us a theological and philosophical look at sound church history. This book will give the engaged reader sound and intelligent insight not only to know church hisory, but more importantly, a sense of its meaning and beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best church-history that has ever been published., August 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: History of the Christian Church, 8 vols. (Hardcover)

Philip Schaff extensively examines the role that the Christian religion had to play in history of the western world. In a non-partial tone the author presents us with a development of the Christian West and points out to the ideas that have influenced our world to this day and that have been a product of a Christian message.
