I must confess, its pretty rare for me to get really excited about my textbooks. After four years of undergrad and four more of graduate studies, I have just read too many pages to be impressed. My text for my History of Christianity course is a very rare exception. Church History in Plain Language by Bruce Shelley is one of the most engaging history books I have read. Shelley makes history relevant and interesting. What’s even more exciting is that it is the history of the Christian faith. Bonus: It sells for around $20.00 new on Amazon.
