THE HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH is an essential part of the world history over the past two thousand years.

This book, written for Christians and non-Christians alike, is meant for readers who are looking for a simple, but not superficial introduction, which identifies the main thread, the salient features, of Christian history.Everyone, Catholic or Protestant should own this book. Everything you want to know is there – well, it alone will make you curious and want to buy and read more books, but this is History you need to know. As a Protestant I was so uninformed about what Catholics really believed and why they believed it. I also did not know the first 1500 years of history of the Christian Church. I knew the Bible and knew the Bible well – but I had jumped over the history between the Resurrection and the Book of Acts up to the Reformation.
