Light to the Nations - The History of Christian Civilization - Part One Student Book (Catholic Schools Textbook Project)

by Catholic Textbook Project Author

(From Amazon): From the coming of Jesus Christ, through the achievements of medieval Christendom, to the threshold of the Enlightenment projects of the 18th century, Gods work in history reveals itself. Light to the Nations: The Development of Christian Civilization combines narrative accounts with the necessary facts, dates, short biographies, and concept definitions needed for a Christian cultural understanding. The central concern of the volume is the effect on human civilization wrought by the Christian Faith. Drawing on the work of Catholic historians of the 20th century Christopher Dawson, Hilaire Belloc, and Frederick Wilhelmsen the authors have crafted a Catholic and accurate account of our Western heritage. This is Volume I of the Catholic Schools Textbook Project, a 12-volume series of history/social studies textbooks and supporting materials specifically for Catholic schools and students. These textbooks teach about the world--while giving the Catholic Church the position it deserves in history, without exaggerating either favorable or unfavorable realities.
