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
