adamschoenmaker's review against another edition
5.0
Loved it! Catherwood does exactly what he sets out to do—give a whirlwind introduction to church history. Inevitably this means the book is not exhaustive nor extensive, but it doesn't purport to be. So, for what it is (a "crash course"), I found it interesting, easy-to-read, and lucid, with some insightful analysis. Catherwood does his best to remain fair and balanced, though he inevitably writes from a Reformed evangelical perspective (which is perhaps what endeared the book to me...?). I must say, though, I found Catherwood's repeated reference (at least 5 times by my count) to "Crossway author Mark Dever" slightly odd...

Definetely a "crash course". Though interesting and pretty good for a quick overview, a lot of the stuff is oversimplified and the statement that King Henry VIII broke from the Catholic church purely for political reasons made my head hurt. But, if you're curious, this has got the content ;)
