Accurate but negative

I taught a 10-week class on Church history using Bausch's book. While I found his overview of historical Christianity fairly objective, I was discouraged by his negative take near the end of the book. Bausch has an axe to grind with the pontificate of John Paul II and that axe is pretty sharp. First-time students of Church history might well be influenced by his bias and come away with a cynical view of the Church in the closing chapters. As a teacher, I had to point out this bias and encourage serious students of Church history to continue their pursuit of other historical resources. Additionally, Bausch focuses almost exclusively on the Church in Europe while giving scarce attention to the development of the CHurch in the Americas, Asia and Africa.
