Short History of the Catholic Church by Jose Orlandis - Catholic History Book, Softcover, 166 pp.
A Short History of the Catholic Church by Jose Orlandis. The history of the Catholic Church is an essential part of world history over the past 2000 years. This book, written for Christians and non-Christians alike, is meant for readers who are looking for a simple but not superficial introduction, which identifies the main thread, the salient features, of that history. By far the best work of its kind available in English today.
