The Roman Catholic Church by Edward Norman
The history of the Roman Catholic Church is the gateway to understanding 2,000 years of Western and often world civilization. This illustrated account tells how Roman Catholics understand their faith, and presents the story of the multifarious ways in which their Church has shaped the lives and beliefs of Christians and non-Christians alike.
