(Example? Gonzales seems to see the World Council of Churches of the 20th century as the pinnacle of Christian success.) But Gonzales does well, despite a few places where his theological outlook comes to the forefront. It must be difficult for a historian to keep his prejudices from influencing his work too much. Gonzales does an admirable job of making church history interesting and accessible for seminary students.
The Story of Christianity is a seminary textbook that I have truly enjoyed. His restraint keeps the book moving, but he wisely includes certain short stories or events that keep the narrative fresh. But Gonzales rarely delves into unnecessary details.
