An honest, balanced history of the Christian Reformed Church,
By A Customer
This review is from: Our Family Album: The Unfinished Story of the Christian Reformed Church (Hardcover)
Schaap goes out of his way to provide a human, humane, and balanced portrait of the Christian Reformed Church, from its Dutch roots, through periods of schism and immigration, and on to the controversies of the 1990s. It's a warm, friendly portrait that doesn't gloss over divisive tendencies and perceived clannishness of this denomination founded by Dutch immigrants. As a student of Reformed church history, I find this volume incredibly accessibly, broad in scope, and a great help in understanding my people.

Well written popularized history of Christian Reformed C,
By A Customer
This review is from: Our Family Album: The Unfinished Story of the Christian Reformed Church (Hardcover)
James Schaap does the Christian Reformed Church - and any who would like to know her better - a wonderful service in this readable popularized history. From the opening you know Schaap loves the church, both his own denomination and the world-wide church. This is history from the inside, full of candor (sometimes uncomfortably so) and full of affection.
