J. A. Rogers

The book is great. The narrator is not.

The book itself is great. I definitely recommend you listen (or maybe just read it in paper). The author gives a great explanation of his upbringing as an evangelical and appropriately Protestant evangelicals for their faithfulness to the simple message of Jesus Christ, to evangelism, and for their knowledge of Scripture and commitment to its simple authority. He then proceeds to explain, defend, and uphold the positions of the apostolic church historic and her strengths and faithfulness to word and sacrament over against evangelicalism.

What severely detracts from this production is the reader’s emaciated knowledge of what he is actually saying, which is mostly betrayed in his inability to pronounce some of the most well known words in our English language, not even to mention the names of well known religious leaders that he butchers. It became distracting when within the first 20 minutes the reader could not pronounce oblique, piety, Jan Hus, or Billy Graham. I began to realize that he has a very unique midwestern or northern accent, which attributes to the lack of clarity. If you listen on 1.5x speed it’s much more bearable.

Other than that, the book is helpful, insightful, and is a great resource to anyone navigating the historic streams of the Christian church and delving into sacramental theology.

So good.

This book was awesome. Metaxas is a brilliant scholar, and he performs the book very well. I learned so much about Luther that I had no idea about. I highly recommend.

Slow

Really good for sure, but very slow. We don't know what's actually happening until the end.
