The book explains the Church's progress by using Christopher Dawson's division of the Church's history into six distinct 'ages,' or 350-400 year periods of time, each cycle beginning with great enthusiasm and advancement and ending in decline and loss. Writing with the experience of twenty years of teaching, the author has fashioned an ideal text that combines substance with readability. Undergraduates, graduates, and interested lay people have given the author an idea of what topics should be emphasized. As a result, he has emphasized such areas monasticism, the Crusades, medieval theology, the Inquisition, Reformation, French Revolution, the nineteenth century, and the Church in the United States. As a supplement to each chapter, the author has included an annotated list of reading and audio-visual materials.

Rating: - very one-sided I bought this book due to the good reviews it received. I am sorry to disagree, it presents as far as I can judge a very one-sided view of history. It is one thing to put the inquisition into perspective, but another to distort the facts. "The medieval inquisition was actually a considerable advance in the treatment of criminals" (page 149). Well, I do not even see him as a Dominican mentioning the infamous "Malleus Maleficarum" written by members of his order, revealing the horrofic view behind ...

I am fascinated of how every detailed information, facts and figures, historical events surrounding the early Church has magnified the intensity in a reader, to really imagine and make assessment, the implications and challenges facing the Church today. I recommend this book not only as a "high average" rank among others, but a good source of material for students of medieval church history and the middle ages. Teachers of medieval history and Church studies will be able ...
