Summary of this Book...
This book takes a look at the history of the Orthodox Church.
This type of Book is good for...
Learning more about Orthodox history.
I especially liked...
The look at the Russian Orthodox church.
I didn't like...
The writing style was very dry. I was also disappointed with the history timeline. Councils are mentioned but no reasons as to why and there is no lay man's term to understanding the outcomes of the councils.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Hock it!
This Book made me feel...
It was frustrating because I had a natural curiousity about the Orthodox religion, but it didn't really talk about everyday concepts of it.
The author of this Book...
Probably understood the history, but couldn't really put it down on paper.
I don't recommend this Book because...
There isn't enough to keep the reader's attention.
Further Comments...
I was very disappointed. It's not a very good book to read if you're interested in Orthodoxy.
