Get a new perspective

Customer Rating:

This book was written in 1879 and reflects a common intrepratation of English history at the time. Indeed, it is very similar to the view the founding fathers took of the events covered in this history. All too often, it is assumed that modern interpretations of history are somehow objective and unbiased. All historians write from their worldview, and there is nothing that says a naturalist/atheistic perspective is somehow more valid than the perspective that God directs that events of history for a purpose. The latter view is much closer to what was held by many of the people (Reformers, Pilgrims, & Catholics) that this history is about, and therefore, in my opinion, is capable of a deeper understanding of the motivation of these people to act against injustice. It is by reading books written by people in ages other than our own that we gain the perspective necessary to analize our own cultures assumptions and beliefs.

NOT a history book!!

Customer Rating:

This book should be placed in the historical fiction section. It is NOT a history book! The author was so skewed and biased that it was laughable. I would not recommend that this book be used for any serious history class. His portrayal of the Roman Catholic Church was very biased as he narrated his own perspective on history. It was hard to take him very seriously because of his own personal prejudices. Homeschoolers beware!
