Church History
A Complete History of the Catholic Church to the Present Day
Item Number: 86
Every Catholic at some time in his life has undoubtedly felt a desire to know the history of the Catholic Church. But where to begin the study of nearly 2000 years? Probably no book was better conceived or better executed to fulfill this need than Church History by Fr. John Laux. Written expressly both for students and adults; anyone who becomes familiar with this book will find that he has acquired an excellent background in Church history. 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. Church History by Fr. Laux is a story of the Church unparalleled in its scope, depth, variety, interest and impact, and a book all Catholics should read, that they might understand in what manner the "mustard seed" planted by Our Lord has grown to be the greatest institution in the entire world.
