A fascinating book - and not only because it brings Lutherans into play. It even quotes passages from Vespers at some length and some real sermons. I like that off course. Perhaps its a bit to packed with top stories i.e. papal murder, Islamic inferno, mass murder and that's only mentioning the killings. I like the theological discussions - especially concerning the various ludicrous fringes of society, the denominational dialogue amongst conventional pastors and bishops [and at one stage even with the pope from Africa.
