5.0 out of 5 stars The Best BJU History out there, November 19, 2005

This review is from: Standing Without Apology: The History of Bob Jones University (Hardcover)

There are several BJU histories on the market. Satnding Without Apology is by far the best. While written by an insider it gives a balanced and thorough history of the school. It does an excellent job of allowing the reader to understand the cultural and spiritual forces which lead to the establishment of this unique University and which molded the school. Further, it gives a real feel of the Personalities (Bob Jones Sr., Bob Jones Jr. and Bob Jones III) which have lead the school for almost 80 years. Unlike, some other histories on the market Standing Without Apology gives the information and allows the reader to draw their own conclusions.
