Written by Father Robert Fox, a teacher of 38 years, this particular text is highly recommended because of its balanced, insightful, and easy-to-understand treatment of topics such as the Greek Schism, the Protestant Revolt, Vatican II, and much more–right up to the fall of communism.

[From the back cover] -  I am a former evengelical ministers and teach of sacred scripture in a Protsteant Seminary.  By the grace of God I found my way out of much anti-Catholic misunderstanding and discovered for myself...the historical development of doctrine—the fullness of true faith in Catholicism that is loyal to Peter and his successors.  I’ve come to a new appreciation of the importance to know Church history.
