- Abstract:
- Catholicism: The Story of Catholic Christianity begins at the inception of the Catholic Church and deals with the election of the present Pope, and thus is contemporary yet rooted in history. Histories of religious traditions need not be unwieldy. They could be pointers to all the important references to literature on the subject. This book is a classic example of such writing. The authors place the beginning of Catholic Christianity “with the resurrection of the crucified Jesus” (3) and thus have a view that is biased towards the Catholic Church. The authors describe the history of Catholic Christianity in the first two chapters, taking care not to miss any important event from this period. Relying heavily on documents from the Vatican, this book recounts various crucial points in Catholic history.
