RT Review T1 Some Recent Studies of American Church History JF The journal of ecclesiastical history VO 29 IS 2 SP 195 OP 199 A1 Brock, W. R. LA English YR 1978 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1784744646 AB In a little over 400 pages Robert T. Handy's volume of the Oxford History of the Christian Church surveys more than four hundred years, two countries of vast geographical extent, almost 300 million people, fifteen churches claiming over two million members each, innumerable smaller churches, denominations and sects. One cannot but admire the tenacity with which he has carried out this daunting task, and be grateful for a critical bibliography of over 30 pages which will be invaluable for anyone who requires a quick guide to the literature on almost any aspect of American or Canadian Church history. The presentation is clear, and the stream—or torrent—of information is handled with skill. K1 Rezension DO 10.1017/S0022046900040069
