![]() ![]() One thing I always like to focus on is the development of the Trinity and how it is ultimately resolved. Durant is expert at stepping the reader through. I couldn't follow it, too many 'isms' unless you're an expert. I had earlier read an audible book called "Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years". He tells the story by first telling the story of the early Christian Church in ways which the reader can understand. Most books that mention the Islamic Civilizations from 650 AD to 1300 just give comic book like characterizations. The period of time covered is from about 330 AD (Constantin's son) to about 1315 (Dante), and makes the listener understand how the events led to the making of Modern Europe and explains how we get where we are thus adding to my understanding about our place in the universe. ![]() The author ties the pieces of the history covered together as a coherent whole. ![]() This book does that better than any book I've listened to this year. Most books I listen to are because I want to find our place in the universe and how we got where we are. This book is my favorite book I've listened to all year. ![]()
