Summary: Excellent History of the Church
Comment: For those who want to know the facts, the ins and outs, and who do not have a background in Church history this book is for you. Dr. Norris presents a very detailed review of Christianity in all of its triumphs and losses. He also links the religion often called "Western" to its real roots in Asia. The richness of the Christians of the East has been so often neglected by those concentrating on simply European Church history. We must not forget the stories of those Christians who fought and struggled to gain a foothold in Asia. Excellent work.
Rating: 5
Summary: Well written history - A must read!
Comment: As a seminary student I found this book to be an excellent overview of the growth of Christianity in the western world as well as Asia, and Africa, and South America. It is a wealth of information, written in an easy to read manner that engages the reader directly with the culture.
Dr. Norris does an excellent job incorporating quotes and anecdotes about various missionaries throughout history, information that is not normally found in your standard history textbook. I highly recommend this book to any student of world missions.
Rating: 4
Summary: A Highly Commendable Concise Historical Treatment
Comment: This concise volume is a valuable and timely addition to a growing list of monographs detailing a history of global Christianity. Norris' meticulous attentiveness to the historical development of Christianity in Asia, the Far East, and Africa effectively exposes the shortsightedness of the long held assumption that Christianity is a Western religion. Compactness comes at a price, however, and more demanding readers will note a lack of depth some areas. But the author makes up for this with insightful analysis and highly readable prose. Strongly recommended.
