The Compact History of the Catholic Church

Rating:
Summary: An excellent introduction to the history of Catholicism!
Review: If you are looking for a short, yet informative, history of the Catholic Church, look no futher. This book gives the reader all the major details from the founding of the church up to the present day. Of course, in a short book such as this, a cursory examination is given each topic, but it is nevertheless a superb introduction to the history of the Catholic Church.

Summary: Belied
Review: Looking for a rich global perspective from one who is thoroughly Memphis-ed, Kenya-ed and DC-ed puts the reader at ease when illumined by the chip off the ole blockhead. Alan Schreck is incomparable as historian and writer. Clear research, clear thinking and even clearer expression make this a must for everyone.

Summary: The Compact History of the Catholic Church
Review: Though it is a very slim volume, Schrecks Compact History is well worth the read. If you have any interest in Church history, read this as a good beginning book. It is not too complicated, but is detailed enough to not be boring or condescending.
