Description
Ever felt mortally embarrassed when all your friends are discussing the merits of "the 5 points of Calvinism" and you don't have the foggiest idea what they're talking about? Ever kicked yourself for not knowing which popes reigned the shortest amount of time? (First on the list is Pope Urban VII, who ruled for a whopping 13 days.) Well, where else could you find the answer to all your problems, but in A Theological Miscellany-a maddeningly addictive cornucopia of trivia and smorgasbord of stuff that will keep you up late at night, reading just one more page. The best little book of trivia and oddities you'll ever find. . . . And if not the best, then certainly in the top ten.

As the cover states: "176 pages of odd, merry, essentially inessential facts, figures, & tidbits about Christianity." A lot of neat trivia stuff about religion, churches, the Bible and such. Neat.

I read this as a non-Christian curious to learn a bit about Christianity, and was severely disappointed. It's written by a Christian for a Christian, so if you're not, don't bother with it.

This little book has lists, trivial information, and a few stats on various Christian denominations (primarily Catholicism and Methodism). However, it is unorganized and unindexed, which would make it useless as a reference book. Essentially, it's interesting bathroom reading.
