The Building of Christendom

Description

The Building of Christendom: A History of Christendom, volume 2

By Warren H. Carroll

The Building of Christendom, from 324-1100, is the second volume in “The History of Christendom” series. This series is the only in-print, comprehensive narration of Western history written from an orthodox Catholic perspective. How would a historical narrative read if the author began with the first principles that truth exists and the Incarnation happened?

Here is the story of the great heresies that seemed to carry all before them, yet always failed to gain their final goal of capturing the Papacy; of St. Patrick’s mission to Ireland and its glorious fruits; of a lone hero’s last stand against an empire stretching from France to China which began the 770-year war for the reconquest of Spain; of how the Popes became judges of kings and the first crusade swept on to victory against all odds; of how the church bridged the abyss of the Dark Ages and laid the foundations of a new Christian order like nothing the world has see before or since. All Christian countries are covered, with the history of the Popes as the connecting thread.
