"How much time does he spend on the Dark Ages?"
A VERY large part. In fact, that time frame is where most of the NEW research has changed points of view.
So of the 48 pages, I might find as many as 30 pages which are supposed to overturn centuries of scholarship and tens of thousands of pages of evidence documenting the Catholic Church's hostility to science? I will read this book, but I doubt it will have any lasting impact on either my views or the history of the church.
I was reading just last week about the Archimedes palimsest. Of course Archimedes' most important work was destroyed by the church to make a prayer book. This is from a church that supposedly promotes or values science?
