Great insights into the sociology of Christianity

This book is primarily a secular, although positive, look at the growth of Christianity through a lense of history, sociology and policy.

The book is well read, though my one little gripe is one, which in fairness is mentioned by the book, in that it sometimes references figures and charts which are not transcribed.
