"The Rise and Progress of Christianity from its First Beginnings to the Conversion of the English". "This is the work of a most painstaking student and scholar well abreast of the latest historical research ... It shows abundant evidence of wide and careful study and gives us a concise and very readable account of the origins of the Christian Church, its chequered history, the heresies which challenged it, as well as the development of its worship, discipline and government ... It proves a valuable handbook for the theological student and for the ordinary keen Church member" (The English Churchman).
