The History of Christianity

Short Review: This is probably a 3.5 star review instead of a 3. But Goodreads doesn't allow that.

I am always glad to read (listen) to different perspectives. And I can hear slightly different emphasis from Luke Timothy Johnson (a former monk and priest) than I do from Diarmaid MacCulloch (an atheist) or the several different flavors of Protestants that I have read Christian history of the same period.

This is a fine, but nothing special Great Courses presentation of early Christianity. I am not a fan of Johnson's voice and overly emphatic presentation. But it isn't horrible.
