The Compact History of The Catholic Church is a lively and readable guide to the life of the church through the ages. Designed as an introduction to the history of Catholicism, this convenient resource offers more than just names, dates and places. Dr. Alan Schreck covers not only the topics and issues of each period but also skillfully guides us through the maze of politics, scandales, and heresies which have challenged the church both from within and without. Most importantly, he brings to life the people of God in each century who have faithfully loved and served the Church, often at the cost of great personal sacrifice and persecution. (...)
