I cannot comment on how accurate the information is but I found it very interesting. The author states at the beginning the lack of chronicle order but I found it hard to follow at times and it jumps around time periods and some points/sections seemed to be repeated multiple times. Overall an enjoyable read on a topic I knew little about prior. A lot of parallels to more recent history.

I listened to this on audio. A very interesting listen with lots of details/stories that I'd never heard before. Essential reading for anyone who thought they knew the history of early Christianity and how we entered the dark ages.
