Its plain to see that the author has put in a lot of effort to get all the facts needed to compile this book. I look forward to reading it. Thank you for a great review.

While I am not religious at all, religion as history and sociology fascinates me, and this book definitely sounds like one I would be interested in reading. Solid review.
