The Church in Ancient Society: From Galilee to Gregory the Great (History of the Christian Church) Reviews
-
Chadwick has a particularly Anglican talent for fair-mindedness and for writing good prose. This work of Church history is an interesting (and occasionally exciting) read - thorough and even-handed.
