[Ted · Rating 3 out of 5]

An excellent historical summary and comparison of the theology that evolved in both the East and the West in Medievel times.

I'm now reading it for a 2nd time, this time with a group. Over all my second read of the book in a group leads me to the same conclusion. A well written, informative book.
