From Barnes & NobleThis beautifully written, thoughtful history is a fitting companion book to Father Robert Barron's ten part video series on the doctrines, rituals, and practices of the Catholic Church. First published in 2011 to the positive reviews of critics and general readers alike, it now appears as a trade paperback and NOOK Book.
Publishers WeeklyThe Catholic Church has certainly faced some difficult challenges in recent years. Sex scandals, bishops who looked the other way, and a shortage of priests are seared into the consciousness of many within and outside this faith tradition. Barron, a Catholic priest and professor of theology at Mundelein Seminary near Chicago, draws attention back to the beautiful and rich tradition of this two-millennia-old religion.
