5.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book, but don't expect miracles, December 20, 2001

By	Adam Marischuk "amarischuk" (Summerland, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a history Student at a secular University, this is a decent book to begin to get direction for research. It is well written and easy to read.

If you're looking for a good reference book for Catholic history, this is it! But beware this isn't a substitute for the Catholic Encyclopedia by a long shot. Bunson pacts in an fantastic amount of info into the 900 pages, and it's a great addition to any person library or Catechism class.
