Amazing

This book is great for those who are trying to learn more about the Catholic Church, or are already Catholic, and want extra material. All in all, perfect book.

WOW -- Just WOW!!!

Honestly, this is the single most incredible Church History textbook for High School aged students that I have ever seen in my life. (And my background is in Historical Theology!) I was first made aware of this series about two months ago, when I learned that a local Catholic High School had chosen to use one of the titles. One of my closest friends, the theology teacher at my son's High School, then ordered the entire series, and plans to implement the first two volumes next year. As a professional theologian -- and as a professional educator -- I can only sit back and be amazed. This is simply the BEST one-volume Church History that I have ever seen. It is accurate; it is readable; it is accessable; it is engaging. It is brilliantly illustrated and laid out. As someone who examines texts for a living -- it simply blew me away. I will be ordering a copy for my parish library as soon as possible. (One of my parish volunteers -- also a professional Catholic educator -- was equally impressed.) I only wish that a parish edition, suitable for CCD classes (and the limitations under which they labor) could be forthcoming. The Midwest Theological Forum is to be commended for this text -- and for the entire "The Didache" Series. Very, very highly recommended!
