Early Christianity - First Frontier

Well I am about half way through "Church History in Plain Language" and stand amazed at the constant conflict, disagreement and mayhem! Wow! Roots go deep no doubt for some of the present day issues in the Christian church as well as in the conflict between religions. I am just in the season of Menno Simons picking up the Anabaptist group which then became recognized as Mennonites.
Overall the whole thing is intriguing. A lot of reading as this book is 495 pages.
