This book gives a good thumbnail sketch of the rise of early Christianity。 I had hoped that it would be a bit more specific about the organization of the primitive church as organized by Christ， or by the apostles。 Other than mentioning the addition of Matthias to the Twelve to take the place of Judas， the authors didn't touch the other officers at all。 Other than that， it is a short history of the general rise of Christianity。I did receive a free copy of the ebook from the authors， and was aske This book gives a good thumbnail sketch of the rise of early Christianity。 I had hoped that it would be a bit more specific about the organization of the primitive church as organized by Christ， or by the apostles。 Other than mentioning the addition of Matthias to the Twelve to take the place of Judas， the authors didn't touch the other officers at all。 Other than that， it is a short history of the general rise of Christianity。I did receive a free copy of the ebook from the authors， and was asked to leave a voluntary review， be it good， bad， or indifferent。 。。。more

I thought this book would be an actual history of the rise of Christianity， from the crucifixion to the integration of Christianity into the Roman Empire， using historical documents， archeological findings and the like。 Instead， it’s a retelling of the Book of Acts along with stories told of the the early disciples。 The book starts from the assumption that Jesus was real （which is debated by historians）。 There is some history mixed in， but it is buried under the preaching。 The quotes at the star I thought this book would be an actual history of the rise of Christianity， from the crucifixion to the integration of Christianity into the Roman Empire， using historical documents， archeological findings and the like。 Instead， it’s a retelling of the Book of Acts along with stories told of the the early disciples。 The book starts from the assumption that Jesus was real （which is debated by historians）。 There is some history mixed in， but it is buried under the preaching。 The quotes at the start of each chapter are from modern evangelicals， slamming non-believers rather than promoting Jesus。It’s an easy read， but not a historical book。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Captivating History does a great job of informing without bias and keeping the subject matter easily digestible and as factually accurate as possible。 This is no exception。 It's a good， short book that gives the reader plenty of information without being preachy。 Captivating History does a great job of informing without bias and keeping the subject matter easily digestible and as factually accurate as possible。 This is no exception。 It's a good， short book that gives the reader plenty of information without being preachy。 。。。more
