Studies in Church History: The Rise of the Temporal Power: Benefit of Clergy: Excommunication Book

It took me a while to read Volume II of Wells’s The Outline of History, mostly because of school and wanting to read other books. But this has been a long process for me. I finished the first volume nearly two years ago, and it’s been a gradual process to finishing it since then.

Wells presents all of human history from the creation of the universe to the present day (1920). He tells everything in a very storybook-like manner, but the details are very well-versed and accurate overall.

He literally prowess is clearly seen in this, with how he writes in the same fashion of one of his famous novels. It makes this a much easier-to-read history lesson to those who find the common narrative dull. I highly recommend to anyone who is generally curious about the political, social, or religious history of the world.
