In the chapter ³Speaking of ... are countless themes in this book, but one of the major ones is the after effects the war had and still has on the men that were there.

He joined forces with the religious ... reformations, England remained virtually unchanged, most likely due to its rather remote location in relation to the rest of Europe.

- ... world's understanding of the doctrines of the early church immediately after the death of Christ and shed some light on Gnosticism.
