Great book of overview on Christian thought

It really is a great one volumn overview to twenty centuries of Christian thought. About this kind of book, either over simplify or too wordy will make it useless. However, the author make a good balance of that on every topic he wrote. One of the key success is the author can masterly introduce the important ideas of every subject with limited words.Last but not least, ever on some familiar topics, this book offers some fresh and important notes that you don't expect to be found in a overview book.
