2000 Years of Christ's power por Nicholas R. Needham
Very interesting use of extensive quotes from primary sources at the end of each chapter, accessible language, proper evaluation of political & personal motives in church controversies. Could use some discussion of assumptions questioned by Rodney Stark in his The triumph of Christianity.
As good as the first one, bringing out the debates of the mediaeval church and it's gradual corruption until the eve of Reform.

We also examine the Catholic Counter-Reformation, and explore the very different world of Eastern Othodoxy. In all this we see how theology, spirituality, worship and culture were affected by the events of the sixteenth century.… (mais)
