Excerpt from the back cover:
"This handsome handbook spills over with the color, drama, taste, and odor of the richly varied Christian pageant. So much is going on that one is grateful for guides and indexes, for maps and charts, for endpapers and timelines. Bright with illustrations, resonant with expert voice, punctuated with succinct analyses, this handbook packs a tremendous punch." -Edwin Gaustad, Univ. of Cal.
