Pocket History of Theology

Olson and English do a fantastic job of sketching the major theologies of the past 2000 years in an accessible and engaging manner. The entire IVP Pocketbook series has been very helpful for me in understanding basic church history and historical theology. I was intrigued and saddened to see that much of theology has been tainted by politics and quests for power.
