Though I totally understand the interest and need to expand her audience, I missed the authoritative voice of a church historian that I’ve come to value in Bass’ work. Her faith is certainly reflected in this text but it all felt a bit tentative perhaps because I feel as much an ingrate as she claims to have been. It felt too broad to me and I wanted the focus I’ve appreciated in her previous works.
