This Outline of Church History, while written for teenagers, has appealed to adults as well, as a quick refresher course. It presents the major events and intellectual currents in the Catholic Church's journey, how the greater world influenced them, and how they in turn affected society. While facing up to the failures of certain Churchmen, this work doesn't fail to point out the miracle that is the Church: unwavering in the faith's essentials, inventor of hospitals and universities, patron of the arts and sciences, liberator of women ... and two-thousand-year-old survivor of its human weaknesses.
