<p><strong>Rating: 8&#x2F;10</strong><br><strong>Amazon Link:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.amazon.com/Christianity-First-Three-Thousand-Years-ebook/dp/B0030CVQ5I/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1707790560&sr=1-1">click here</a><br><strong>TL;DR</strong> A complete (if highly opinionated) coverage of the first 3000 years of the history of Christianity, including the major historical events, points of disagreement amongst the elements of the church, and the interplay between the Church and the rest of society. This is a record not only of the Church, but of Western society - the two are, as you understand once reading this volume, inseparable.</p>
<hr>
<p>AT LAST, IT IS FINISHED. 46 hours later!</p>
<p>First, I learned a lot from this book. But I also learned a lot about the author’s opinions. The information is significantly more rich in depth in the first thousand years of church history; as it moves into the second millennium, especially the reformation, I find that the material gets thin. Perhaps it must, since the church has become so broad and varied by that time. I definitely came away from this book with more questions than answers - but in a good way; I am inspired to learn more about certain segments of church history.</p>
<p>But mostly, I have to be honest, I’m exhausted by this book. And it’s not necessarily the author’s fault - there’s just SO MUCH HERE. About halfway through, it was less about learning, and more about persevering and defeating the book. I couldn’t let this text beat me - I had to see it through to the end. At times it became a real slog. The author and the content are both generally engaging, but the way he jumps around through the timeline can be confusing. And there are definitely parts that are more boring than others, but that may just be me. I realize I will honestly have to go through this book several times to actually retain all the information; there’s just so much, and I spent so much time focused on finishing rather than retaining, that I think it’s inevitable.</p>
<p>Overall if you find a copy of this I’d snatch it up. It isn’t complete (and, after listening to it, I understand why - the history of the western world IS the history of the church, and vice versa, so you can’t fit it all into one volume) - but it is <em>sufficiently complete</em> to form a basis of understanding of major events, key players, repeating themes and conflicts in the history of the faith that has literally shaped the history of the world for the last two thousand years.</p>
<p>8&#x2F;10, would recommend. But beware - this is a marathon, not a sprint.</p>

<hr>
<p>“How Should We Then Live” attempts to summarize how Western society arrived at the pickle we’re in, using the lense of the development of Western thought and philosophy. It does an okay job, but fails to provide any substantial suggestion for how to resolve it. The core premise of the book is that “Man, beginning from himself and proceeding only with himself, can never achieve anything like lasting peace or happiness.”</p>
<p>The journey begins at and passes through the Greek philosophers, how that thought dominated through the early church, which came to dominate western society and to create a society with freedoms intertwined with charitable ideas and semi-righteous laws; the rise of humanism and its infiltration of that same church and society, and its eventual hollowing out of the structures that had been created. It follows through the reformation where the authors obvious explicit protestant bias shows in vivid colors (which to me invalidate some of the scholarly character of the work), but he does make good points about how protestantism was a rejection of humanism in the church. I think “Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years” provides a much better education on this series of events, though many readers might get lost in the sauce with that volume, so opting for this one is okay. Just be aware yoiu’re getting a very brief overview of a very large swath of history that is really only being presented to set up the rest of the points further in the book.</p>
<p>The book’s serious contributions, I think, don’t begin until chapter 6. The author makes a valiant fight against the idea that protestant reformers hated art, going to great lengths to show how much the arts flourished in the lives and hearts of various reformers. The author makes a very strong case for the idea that the American, French and English revolutions could never have occurred had it not been for protestantism, something that seems obvious in hindsight but which I never really considered until now. He draws parallels between the Amerrican revolution andn the “bloodless revolution” in England as similar, while pointing out the incredible difference in the French revolution that followed, which contradicts a common idea that the American and French revolution were similar. Through his lense, they’re wildly different, the French revolution being a product of the romantics and humanists, devoid of the core structures that provided the ethical frameworks of the American and English revolutions. He carries this chain through to the various totalitarian regimes, illustrating how their attempts to produce utopian society without love for God at the center ultimately lead to destruction and misery. But all this has been covered before - “LIve Not by Lies” gives a better treatmnent, I think, though the one presented here is probably more approachable for some people.</p>
<p>The most impressive contribution of this book, I think, is between chapters 7 and 10 where the author discusses the history of the modern sciences, and makes the case that it would not have been possible for modern science to exist without the framework of Christianity. Not just talking about the funding provided by the Roman Catholic Church, but rather the entire worldview provided by the Christian faith that says the world was created by a rational God who presented his work (which adheres to His specific laws) to be investigated and discovered and brought under dominion by man, His special creation. He references numerous famous scientists who, even if they were not Christians themselves, openly admit that the Christian worldview enabled the very scientific process through which they operated, because it provides for the idea of (among other things) absolute truth which can be discovered. He proceeds to discuss the development of the cult of science, the new priesthood, and what has happened to science now that the Christian worldview has been replaced - how you no longer have a body that is good at producing revelations based on observation (of course there are some who still do - but we’re speaking broadly here), but rathher you get a field where you excel at deriving whatever conclusion you wwanted to get in thef irst place from the data you gather to support whatever social statement you want to make. This is an important topic that I don’t think gets talked about enough: the corruption of the sciences by a new psudo-scientific cult who idolize “the science” without actually loving the scientific method and without accepting the source of objective truth, God himself.</p>
<p>The frustrating thing, to me, is that the author never answers the title of the book: How shall we then live? He does answer it, in a certain way, but it is (to me) altogether unsatisfactory. I was hoping to see some concrete examples of how to reject modernity and adhere better to the tenets of the Christian faith in the modern world, but all we get is “Accept the Bible as the ultimate source of truth and live the way Jesus said”. And really, “Accept the Bible as the ultimate source of truth” is the bigger thrust. I mean … The author isn’t wrong. But did we really need to read 12 chapters to be told that? Perhaps someone who is less entrenched in their faith will have a revelation, and this will be useful to them, but for me this was kind of a “Well, duh” moment, without a lot of additional substance I was looking for. As the author is fond of saying throughout the book, “the particulars” were not well served.</p>
<p>Overall it’s a decent read. If you have a chance to pick it up from your library, give it a go, but I doubt I’d pay cover price for it.</p>

<hr>
<p>Finished this one yesterday. I’ve read a lot of really dense stuff this year, and especially after “Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years”, my mind was just about shot. I needed some easy listening - even something funny.</p>
<p>“If you didn’t bring jerky, what did I just eat?” by Bill Heavey was a fantastic relief. Written by one of the authors frequently featured in Field &amp; Stream magazine, this collection of anecdotes about hunting, fishing, and life in general, was delightful. The stories were short, with a few that were strung together into longer series, but it was always easy to pick up and put down without worrying you were going to forget what was going on. The stories are engaging, the writing is great, and the narration was colorful; I didn’t want to stop listening.</p>
<p>Heavey is a fantastic storyteller, an everyman who invites the average listener to take part in the stories - most of us can sympathize with being average (at best) hunters, average (at best) fisherman, average (at best) fathers and husbands, but Heavey is such a lovabale galoot that he inspires and gives the rest of us hope. But the introduction to the book contains a warning - his stories can run the gamut from funny, to heartwarming, to tragic, and Heavey’s storytelling talents allow him to swing between moods quickly, without warning, taking you along for the ride. More than once, I would go quickly from laughing to wondering who in the world was cutting all these onions in my truck?!</p>
<p>If it wasn’t jerky, I don’t know what it was - but I liked it, and I’m going to go get some more of it. 10&#x2F;10, if you’re an outdoorsman, a father, or know someone who is, this one is worth every penny. I’m probably going to buy a print copy and circulate it amongst my close male friends.</p>
