This book, a Catechism of Catholic Church History and is more than just a history book. Fr. Fox presents much of the Catholic faith and traditions of the Church during its 2000-year history.

Such a book is needed for modern Catholic youth and today's adults in the post-Vatican II Church. In this way one could be assisted in understanding a Catholic identity with the faith of our fathers, with the faith of the centuries, and recognize the true face of Catholicism.

This book should be in every Catholic home, in the hands of teenagers, young adults, and parents.

Question and answer format, with discussion questions at the conclusion of each of the 20 chapters.

Written by Father Robert Fox, a teacher of 38 years, this particular text is highly recommended because of its balanced, insightful, and easy-to-understand treatment of topics such as the Greek Schism, the Protestant Revolt, Vatican II, and much more–right up to the fall of communism. A relevant, current resource for youth and adults alike.  This up-to-date presentation of Church history is the research tool your student home school needs.

Fox  takes you from Christianity's beginnings to the reign of Pope John Paul II and his years of teaching, governing and sanctifying the true Church of Jesus Christ.

I am a former evengelical ministers and teach of sacred scripture in a Protsteant Seminary.  By the grace of God I found my way out of much anti-Catholic misunderstanding and discovered for myself...the historical development of doctrine—the fullness of true faith in Catholicism that is loyal to Peter and his successors.  I’ve come to a new appreciation of the importance to know Church history. 

This book, A Catechism of Church History, takes us in an easy way from the beginnings of Christianity to the reign of Pope John Paul II.  I would like to see this book in every Catholic home, in the hands of teenagers, young adults and parents.  You will discover in an easy way 2000 years of Church history, as presented in the context, not simply of historical facts, but from a spirit of faith and love for Jesus Christ and His Church.   Catholics of all ages—and in every age—need to know their ROOTS.  You will find those roots in this volume. -
