From the beginning to 1940. Written for both students and adults. The author intersperses the history with many brief, interesting biographies of famous people, and at the end of each chapter he quotes briefly from a famous writing of the era, blending a medley of elements into a comprehensive historical composition that is at once brilliant and fascinating. A story of the Church unparalleled in its scope, depth, variety and impact, and a book all Catholics should read. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Church History: A Complete History of the Catholic Church to the Present Day for High School, College and Adult Reading (John Laux)
