Rome, Europe and the World is a very readable, fast paced survey of the history of the Catholic Church. It is the story of the melding of classical Greek heroism and Christian humility into Western Civilization, a culture that was cradled in the Middle East, nurtured in Europe, and spread out to the world. Western Civilization has shaped our world and Christianity is its heart and soul.Rome, Europe, and the World's chronicle is a fascinating one. The Roman Empire, the rise of Islam, the Crusades, the Reformation, the Inquisition, the voyages of discovery, and so much more, are all part of the Church's story and none of them happened in a vacuum. This book explains why they happened, what forces were at work shaping them at the time, and what the ongoing ideas driving them were. The book has a 44 page index, 282 endnotes, a 7 page bibliography, many maps and illustrations, and tables of popes, emperors, kings, caliphs, and presidents and the dates they ruled during the two millennia from Jesus Christ to Pope Francis.This is an ideal book for high school and college students, homeschoolers, and for all those who would like a clear understanding of the church's influence on history.
