"Interesting balanced book. I disagree with some of the assertions the author makes (which review of his own footnotes shows that part of him seemed to as well) but it did give a lot of interesting clarification on some historical situations in the early church."
"I liked this book. I felt it was objective and the author would research from many aspects and sources he could. I also shows how much of history can be subjective and misunderstood. I would like to be a danite myself :)"
