What the Chrustians did not do

Revisado: 07-26-23

....but the barbarians did. The destruction of the Roman city had nothing to do with Christianns at least until after Protestantism. Trier was rhe capital of Constantius Chloeus and the city where Constantine fled from Galerius. Trier is very important in the history of Christianity. Early Christians did not make a habit of destroying art but Peotestants later did. Of course, baebarians had no qualms about destroying anything Riman abd had no appreciation of the arts. The guide talks a lot of nonsense

Well written and nicely researched

Revisado: 03-14-23

The best book so far on Charlotte, the subject of so much Regency Drama. An accurate portrayal of a beautiful person with very good background detail. In addition, a pleasant read. I would like some more detail on where did Charlotte for example meet Mercer and how; what happened to people of her household etc.

Very little to do with slavery.

Revisado: 09-10-22

The narration is monotonous, the narrator has problems pronouncing names and using proper phrase rhythm or stops within sentences. The history narrated has little to do with slave life. A bit preoccupied with sexual practices and a lot of inaccuracies and negative pronouncements about Christians. A lot of unattributed information. Overall a disjointed piece of work with some good information, a lot of which is irrelevant to the title.

Meandering account

Revisado: 01-04-22

As concerns the history there is a narrative backed by little explanation of the actual data and supporting evidence. Not solidly backing the narrative with evidence. Follows Nazi thinking now going to the opposite spectrum of the political agenda being a proponent of cultural destruction and destruction of cultural identity based on genetic history. Two wrongs don't make a right, however. VERY interesting historical account of some human diseases. Half the book is about archaeogenetics and rather badly written. Almost half the book on diseases. Very nice. Last chapter is on authors convictions. They are entitled to them. That does not make them right or completely wrong either. Nice narration. Worth the time.

Informational but biased

Revisado: 05-09-21

This book has much useful information and even some right deductions and opinions but in making pretentions for scholarly reasoning it cannot hide it's bigotry displayed in irony against Christianity and any Christian opinion. The narrator's tone emphasizes this irony. In fact it barely ever steps out of its ironic and overly theatrical tone so it is unpleasant.

BS

Robert Graves writes the most boring rewrite of Prokopius's depraved imaginings from the Secret Histories. Shame. Not worth your time.

great reading of only book really worth reading

Revisado: 09-09-17

This is a dramatic reading of the Bible that gives life to every word. I like reading and the Bible is the only indispensible book in the world (to paraphrase Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, who both made a similar cliam for America).
