Recenzii

“Are you hungry for a rip-roaring tale of theological intrigue filled with conspiracies, Byzantine plots, murder, and mayhem? Or are you longing for a solid, informative, and accurate history of the development of Christian orthodoxy? If your answer is yes to both, Philip Jenkins’s Jesus Wars...is your book.” — Christianity Today
“Jenkins...has done a remarkable job of documenting this little-understood slice of history. There’s lots of excitement and plenty of intrigue, and Jenkins does a fine job in his recitation of this strange story.” — Publishers Weekly
“In showing general readers how he finds fresh ideas and the resurrections of past teachings invigorating to religious studies, Jenkins provides an accessible book . . . the book enlightens readers on the backstory to current Christian divisions . . . ” — Library Journal
“Jenkins condenses centuries of church and imperial strife with admirable clarity...” — Booklist (starred review)
“Jenkins manages to explain very clearly why people in the early Christian era were so passionately concerned with issues of high theology.” — The Economist
