Tales to be read with caution

This review gives an overview of both the author’s book and his six-part BBC TV series. Obviously, the latter is greatly condensed from the former — as one can see from the number of pages, it is a veritable tome! MacCulloch describes himself as a ‘gay man’ who is ‘a candid friend of Christianity’, rather than a believer.
