A Public Faith

anyone read this? I like the title of it. Sounds promising. Seems to avoid the dualising, gnosticising tendency to compartmentalize Christianity. Don't know much about the author, though.

It's part of a series on church history, which also covers the Medieval and Enlightenment periods.

I read the first two. The one on the middle ages is great. The one on the patristics is okay. He had one nightmarish comment when he says Marcion, for all his faults, was an early preacher of free grace. I cried.
