I've never read this book but, based purely on the title, I assume that it has a very high degree of bias.

Stefan Molyneux can be a good source

I haven't read anything on this chart

That Crusades book on the left has a really aesthetic cover.

>>9580051
Oh, actually I have read Confessions and Tragedy of the Templars. Confessions isn't really Christian history, but you should still read it.

>>9578850
I read quite a few extracts for a history essay I worked on once, was quite informative and a relatively smooth read. I'm keen to read the full thing one day when I have a bit of spare time.

>>9579156
Not really. She pushes some really outdated views on early civilization and origins of Yahweh.

>>9580063
Was confessions worth it? I've been meaning to read Augustine.

>>9580275
It's pretty interesting. City of God is Augustine's true masterpiece though.

>>9578850

>>9578850
Yes, one of the best you'll find. Highly recommended.

Justo Gonzales is your man m8. Or just go beast mose and hit Cambridge pic related.

>>9579145

>>9580051
Where is Peter Brown?

>>9580580
Phonetypo fag here, but the Gonzalez I specifically meant was "The Story of Christianity" Vol. 1 and 2. Spoiler: he buys into the Reformation thesis hardcore (no surpise he's a methodist) but his texts are regularly used in grad courses and seminary because of how concise and conprehensive they are. But I know for a fact Harvard grad programs go straight to the 9 volume or whatever the fuck it is Cambridge History of Christianity which is like 2000 pages or some crazy shit like that.
