A Guide To Church History - Volume 1

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WHEN JESUS ENTRUSTED THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM TO ST. PETER UP TO THE EVE OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT IN 1545. As a quick overview of these years, this work introduces us to saints and sinners, to the authentic doctrine of the Church and to the heresies which have sought to undermine it. It speaks of the commitment of countless dedicated men and women and the rejection of the Church on the part of many others.
