Title: Catholic Church through the Ages, The
Description: Renouned Catholic historian Christopher Dawson divided the history of the Catholic Church into six "ages" of 350 to 400 years each that began with great vitality and ended in decline and loss. In the Catholic Church through the Ages, Fr. John Vidmar surveys the history of the church from its beginnings to the present time through Dawson's lens. He writes with enthusiasm and a down-to-earth quality born of years of teaching. Now this best-selling book is published in a second edition that takes church history up to the pontificate of Pope Francis and includes significant new material on John Henry Nowman and the Catholic Revival of the early twentieth century. The annotated lists of bibliography, have been updated, making The Catholic Church through the Ages even more valuable for teachers and students.
