This six CD series, over six hours in length, discusses the history of the Church from the Ascension through to the present day. Each talk covers roughly 325 years.

Discover how the Church:

demonstrated the primacy of the papacy in the very first decades of her existence,

dealt with the various periods of persecution and peace imposed by pagan Rome,

finally achieved the status of a legal religion with Constantine's victory,

lost that status under Julian the Apostate,

regained it again, and eventually became the religion of the empire,

combatted early heresies like Ebionism, Arianism, Nestorianism, and many more,

fought the rising influence of Islam,

combatted the influence of the caesars and heretical Catholic patriarchs,

dealt with the sack of St. Peter's Basilica itself by a Muslim army!

combatted and converted the pagan Vikings,

fought against the Albigensians, the 12th century forebears of Planned Parenthood,

reacted to the loss of all of north Africa, Palestine and modern-day Turkey,

dealt with the invasion of the Balkans and modern-day Austria by Muslim armies,

answered the problem of two men, each elected Pope by the same group of cardinals,

avoided the fatal embrace of power-hungry Catholic kings,

reacted to the rise of the nation-state and the "Reformation,"

fought the vicious "Enlightenment" thinkers who brutally murdered tens of thousands,

answered the armies that invaded and destroyed the Papal states,

outmaneuvered the armies of Hitler and Stalin,

lived to see Pope Benedict XVI and the new Catechism of the Catholic Church and much, much more!

If you've ever wondered whether this is really the worst of times, this history is for you. You will gain a deep appreciation for the tensions and triumphs the Church has constantly faced over the course of two millennia.

Best Uses:

Everyone

Describe Yourself:

Audiophile; Avid Reader

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

As a busy mother, I can't get to outside classes to learn about the Bible, Church Fathers, Saints and such. I rely on audio books that I listen to in the car, and this one is terrific. He is entertaining and informative. I am learning so much that I am replaying the CD's to make sure I don't miss anything. Great product.
