it was amazing

Toward the beginning I wasn't a huge fan of Guinness' curmudgeony style, thinking a not infrequent number of "Ok Boomer"s. But later I realized this guy is critical of everything, the Left and the Right, Catholics and Protestants included. A favorite moment was pp. 90-91, where he writes of the Reformed/Arminian dispute:

Few controversies among Christians are so fruitless as the perennial debate over God's sovereignty and human significance... Overall, it is quite clear that the general discussion of the issue has commonly been unproductive. Far too many hours have been wasted, far too much ink has been spilt, and because of the disagreements far too many have dismissed others as not being true Christians and have been dismissed by other Christians in their turn.
