While Woodhead touches on some very deep concepts in her cursory survey, she also glosses over some very complex ones-matter of-factly. Especially in Ch.3, what occurred in the Great Schism? The Protestant Reformation? Clearly her aim is not to distinguish on the battlelines of church history rather than to illustrate basic cause and effect.

Woodhead exhibits a very 'shoot from the hip' tendency toward many issues, assuming causation where correlation seems to exist. She seems to somehow both under-explain and over-explain concepts. Occasionally, incomplete analysis is offered: both Zwingli and Anglicanism are discussed without explanation of who/what they are. Additionally, the experience of a Sunday worship is never touched.
