Book Description
____________ 'A useful book of reference by the master of the history of the councils of the Church... There is enormous value in a short, reliable, and careful study of a sequence of events that may have unfamiliar joinings and passageways to modern believers...' - Catholic Historical Review 'A short, readable and informed survey of church history.' - The Church of England Newspaper 'A rich foundation for Catholic understanding and witness.' - Catholic San Francisco ____________ A one-volume history of the Christian people from Pentecost to the present day, with principal focus on the Catholic Church. Having passed AD 2000 it seems appropriate and necessary to have a new short history of the first two millennia of the Christian era. In the last half century there has been a massive amount of research into Church history, published in learned articles and in multi-volume works. Full notice is taken of these recent scholarly initiatives in writing this short account, which is also eminently readable. In each section there is a balance between the institutional and the more directly religious dimensions of the Church - here are some of the elements: bishops, canon law, charity, councils crusades, devotions, heresies, laity, liturgy, martyrs, missionaries, parishes, pilgrimages, popes, prayer, priesthood, religious orders, sacraments, schools, theologians, universities and the vita consacrata. The scope is wide; the pace of the narrative is attractive.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Catholic Church, Vol. 1: From the Renaissance to the French Revolution The remarkably rapid sale of the First Edition is attributed by the author more to the importance of the subject dealt with than to the merits of his work. Everywhere - in Ireland, Great Britain, the United States, and Australia - the History of the Catholic Church from the Renaissance to the French Revolution has received a generous welcome. Students interested in this period of Church History were delighted to find that, while the Reformation movement on the Continent had not been neglected, particular attention had been given to its origin and progress in England, Ireland, and Scotland. The author wishes to express his thanks to the reviewers, publishers, and printers, as well as to the students of the College who assisted him in preparing the Second Edition.

Book Description
This one-volume survey of the history of the Catholic Church--from its beginning through the pontificate of John Paul II--explains the Church's progress by using Christopher Dawson's division of the Church's history into six distinct "ages," or 350-400 year periods of time.

Book Description
History of the Catholic Church, Vol. 1 is a classic religious history text by Rev. James MacCaffrey. The fifteenth century may be regarded as a period of transition from the ideals of the Middle Ages to those of modern times. The world was fast becoming more secular in its tendencies, and, as a necessary result, theories and principles that had met till then with almost universal acceptance in literature, in art, in education, and in government, were challenged by many as untenable.
