Extensive notes written on Word. This book was good, gave an in-depth historical narrative of the movement of Europe and the Near East through the centuries 200-900. I’ve learnt a lot about the shifts in religious practises, the subtle changes that had far-reaching implication. For a critical analysis, I find it hard to argue about this book. Need to read more literature about the subject first.
