Story of the Church Text

World History II is centered on the Catholic Faith. For, what is history if not the telling of the story of Christ and His Church? This survey of the world stresses that the roots of the One, True Faith lie in the beginning of the world, the Fall of Man, and his subsequent Redemption. "To know and to understand the Church is a sacred duty for every Catholic. This book has been written for students with the hope that as they learn the story it tells, their love of Christ will increase and that a lifelong interest in Church history will be enkindled. The Story of the Church is presented in three parts: first in the days of the Roman Empire, then the Ages of Faith, and finally in Modern Times, Christ in His Church advances down the ages unto the fulfillment of His mission."
