I attend Concordia Seminary. and do not have a big history background. Here are a few of the things I am reading: Age of Reform, Steven Ozment; The Medieval Church, Joseph Lynch; The Middle Ages, Morris Bishop; History of Christian Thought, Justo Gonzalex; The Medieval Theologins and my favorite A History of the Christian Church, Williston WalkerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-15093647446845518242008-02-04T16:42:00.000-06:002008-02-04T16:42:00.000-06:00Perhaps I had hopes that were to high for the book...Perhaps I had hopes that were to high for the book when I began reading it. It was an easy read, which is often an accomplishment for a biography. <BR/><BR/>I am a pastor in the Reformed Church who just happens to love history. Especially the Early Middle Ages, and particularly Charlemagne. I hope to have a review of a book about Theodulf of Orleans up soon. <BR/><BR/>What drew you, Bob, to this book about Charlemagne? And do you have any recommendations for a book-a-holic like myself?Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422257306176024118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-40607395439290358162008-02-04T11:22:00.000-06:002008-02-04T11:22:00.000-06:00I read your review of Derek Wilson's book, Charlem...I read your review of Derek Wilson's book, Charlemagne. It seemed, maybe, a little too critical. It was an easy read and I would have to agree that Charlemagne was more interested in land and power than in truely spreading the Christian theology. You seem to understand the Early Middle Ages, are you a historian or teacher?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
