Very concise, factual,
By miked99 (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Presbyterians: Their History and Beliefs (Paperback)
This is a short (110 pgs.) and simple book that outlines the history of the Presbyterian Church throughout the world. I found a lot of interesting facts and information in this book concerning the beginnings of not just the Presbyterian Church but others such as the Catholic and Anglican churches. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to gain a little more insight into the history of not just the Presbyterian church but of Christianity as well.

This review is from: Presbyterians: Their History and Beliefs (Paperback)
As far as I can tell, and I am new at church history, this book is well written. Where there is conflict as to facts, it is pointed out. That is appreciated. I recommend this for newcomers to the church.

If you are a Presbyterian and have any interest in the history of your denomination, this book is a "must have". Great for elder or deacon required reading. A lot of relevant info in a small package. An easy read.
