2.5 Maybe this is my fault but I was coming at this book as though this was going to be art history, but it is just written as a christian work. Which is fine but leads to a lot of references to what this means from a Christian standpoint and not from a historical or accurate standpoint. His writing is clear and concise but there are definitely some inaccuracies which could either be because of the point of view it was written or just the fact that we have learned a lot in the last 70 years since this was written.
