Epic: A Journey Through
Church History
Our identity as Catholics means that
we are the inheritors of the deeds of holy men and women who for 2000
years have built a great civilization and spread the Gospel throughout the
world. Church history is not just the recitation of popes, people, places,
and events; it is a story of adventure, intrigue, rebellion, reform, and
devotion. This story is, in fact, our story; this is our family. If we
know our past, and how we fit into the story, we will be better prepared
to face whatever may come in the future.

Endorsements
"Epic: A Journey Through Church History fills an
urgent need for adult Catholics to recover their history as a believing
community, debunk false criticisms of their Church, and understand the Christian
underpinnings of the modern world. This is a vivid, thorough, and engaging
program. I heartily recommend it."
-Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.
"This is Catholic history as it should be written, with
Christ always at the center, and all the Popes features and listed, and the
great saints and the Doctors of the Church honored.
-Warren H. Carroll, Founder, Christendom College
