Conversions Reviews

"'Once I started, I could not put it down. It is hugely compelling. All the narrative skills which are so apparent in Harline's earlier work are now bent towards a purpose which shows what history is for: illuminating present concerns through wise, informed, and serious reflection upon the past. A superb, important book.' (Diarmaid MacCulloch, author of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years) 'Compelling... A beautiful book, illuminating in a time when almost half of Americans report switching religions.' (Publishers Weekly (starred review))"
