Gonzalez strikes a nice balance between detail and ease of reading. Thus, this book accessible to a wider audience. That said, this is still quite a commitment to read at over 500 pages. And, this is just volume one. The way I look at church history, is that I need to make several passes the the various church history books to get it engrained in me. I look forward to reading this one again in a few years.
My one complaint with Gonzalez is that he hardly gives any sources. It is hard to use this book to dig deeper.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.

Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
