In this engaging and accessible Catholic Church history textbook, students will discover:

• How Christ founded the Church and sent the Apostles to spread the Faith.
• How the Catholic Church endured and overcame major historical challenges, including the Muslim invasion of Europe, the Protestant Revolt, and the Wars of Religion.

Written in a style that reads like an exciting adventure story, the book brings history to life through hundreds of full-color images, maps, charts, and graphs, helping students clearly understand key events from the founding of the Catholic Church by Christ through the pontificate of Pope Francis.
