A fresh retelling of the history of the Church with all the makings of your favorite adventure story. Meet the weird, wonderful, and always fascinating heroes and villains of the Catholic family tree. History is integral to the Faith. “My hope is that this work inspires you to grow in your Catholic identity, to understand that Church his- tory is your family history, and to take pride in the actions of your brothers and sisters in the Faith who came before you. Armed with this knowledge, I pray that we may defend the Church when attacked by false narratives and historical myths and grow deeper in our love for the Lord Jesus Christ and the Church he founded.” — Author Steve Weidenkopf Often, we view the study of history as something mundane and tiresome. In a world focused on the sciences and business, history may be seen as a quaint subject. But in reality it is the subject, along with theology and philosophy, that can provide a sense of our human identity. Identifying with the Catholic Church is an important part of our faith lives, but that can be difficult if we do not know the history of the Church. You may have participated in Bible studies or learned Church doctrines or apologetics, but you are not alone if you have never studied Church history. Comprehensive in scope yet readable in tone! This is a solid introduction to Catholic history that will benefit anyone who reads it. — Trent Horn, author of Why We’re Catholic: Our Reasons for Faith, Hope, and Love [Timeless is] a clear, powerful, well-documented history book. Above all, [Weidenkopf] has again shown that Christ and his Church are at the center of history, and that whenever the Church undergoes a crucifixion, it is always followed by a resurrection, a much-needed lesson. — Anne W. Carroll, author of Christ the King: Lord of History and Christ and the Americas, and founder of Seton School I have been waiting for this book, and I didn’t think it could be done. But here it is: a one-volume history of the Catholic Church that I can recommend without reservation! No sneering triumphalism. No groveling apologies. Just the glorious story of the greatest institution in history, written how history should be written — lively, compelling, inspiring, and true. — Christopher Check, president of Catholic Answers Written with a Catholic vision of history and a lucid, popular narrative, his work brings to life two thousand years of history that both inspires and informs. This book’s Christocentric vision of history is a rare gem, to be read and treasured by the faithful and all who seek the deeper meaning of Western Christian civilization. — Timothy T.
