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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091844559136,"sku":"NEW1472909887","price":21.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/new-short-history-of-the-catholic-church-1472909887","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
