2,000 Years of Christ's Power

[Mayflower]

Is anyone familiar with these 3 volumes of church history of 2,000 Years of Christ's Power ? Do they added something special ?

 

[matthew11v25]

just got them. Exciting to read and scholarly. I have only read a little, so I am interested to see what others think.

Who is the author?

These volumes are vitually devoid of documentation (which I'm fairly confident was probably intentional, however still disappointing), but are otherwise very readable and represent a very astute quality of scholarship.

Dear DTK,

Why disappointing, can you explain it more ?

I really can't be more specific than I have. I do not want to detract from these otherwise very helpful and useful works. When I read a historical work of this nature, I want to see the author's documentation for his work, i.e., footnotes (or endnotes) referencing his sources, besides an occasional vague reference and a bibliographical list of works consulted. These works exhibit a high quality of astute scholarship, and not everyone is going to share my desire in this respect.
