'This is a veritable tome of a book but one that needs to be kept
on the bookshelf of any theological student and read and dipped
into regularly.' ~ Ian Gibson, The Good Book Stall
"George Hering's Book is the fruit of a long career in teaching and
offers an excellent introduction to Church history up to the time
of the Enlighten ment, botrh for undergraduates and a wider
readership" "Theological and other issues are constantly
intertwined and the author's judgements are very careful and
thoroughly backed up by evidence. This is an excellent introduction
to Church History , and my only criticism stems from how good it
is." The Pastoral Review, vol.5 issues 2

"George Herring...has written the kind of book which every
undergraduate or non-specialist postgraduate historian longs to
have at his or her disposal....the overview is both comprehensive
and wide-ranging, and the depth achieved through a range of
fascinating details which lighten and illuminate Herring's general
thesis."
