The author's perspective is certainly valuable. I would just recommend balancing it with a more traditional perspective on Church history such as Martha Rasmussen's "The Catholic Church; the First 2000 Years."2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. "Touchy-Feely" Theology -- Not RecommendedBy MikeAs an academic myself (PhD Computer Science); I am quite open to differing perspectives and points of view; however; this book is a bit too wishy washy for me. I am a Roman Catholic and embrace fully the Teachings of the Magisterium of the Church. Theology is the science of the study of Revelation. As such; I recognize the the importance hypotheses and theoretical speculation. The author of this book weaves into his narrative lots of scripture; in order to support his ideas and conclusions; all of which are more touchy feely and quite unconvincing. His theology lacks coherence. I am sorry to say that I cannot recommend this book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Ecclesiology with clarity.By Rose A.
