Book Reviews and Summaries

books.gifThe following is a list of “reading notes” or book reviews that I completed a few years ago while studying for comprehensive exams in Modern European and American church history at Princeton Seminary. Most of them offer extended summaries of the books in question, so they may be helpful for those seeking an overview as well as those trying to get a handle on the distinctive approach of a particular author.
