The second volume of A History of the Christian Tradition takes the reader through the momentous events of the post-Reformation Christian world to the dawning of the ecumenical movement in the late 20th century. Beginning with an overview of Protestant Europe, this volume examines the missionary ventures in the 16th and 17th centuries, the establishment of churches in the New World, and the struggles between rationalism and faith during the Enlightenment and later. Notice is also given to developments in the Orthodox churches and the story of the Jews in Christian Europe. The history concludes with renewal movements, culminating in the Second Vatican Council and the pontificate of Pope John Paul II. †

Balanced and Interesting

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

I read this book as part of (Roman Catholic) Church history course. I found it to be quite balanced in its presentation. It does not represent the Church and her leadership as doing no wrong, nor does it go the other direction and present the Church as the whore of Babylon. Where the Church and/or its leaders were at fault the book freely admits it, but with equal candor point out where she was right -- and often wronged. The text divides history into manageable chunks, with graphic timelines highlighting the most important events. The authors look at history from the point of view of geography -- describing what was going on in a particular part of the world at a particular time. This certainly works but it leaves out a part of history that I particularly enjoy -- the interplay of personalities. Which brings me to my final point. I have discovered that no single history book, no matter how much effort the authors put to present things in an objective way, is sufficient. Authors can not prevent their own perspective from "seeping" into their books. So I recommend reading several. John Vidmar's "The Catholic Church Through the Ages" and Martha Rasmussen's "The Catholic Church: The First 2,000 Years" are favorites of mine. Just recently Diane Moczar has written "The Church Ascending" but as I haven't gotten around to reading it yet I can't comment on it.

Succinct and Easy to Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

I purchased this text for an online religion class. It has proven to be well written, with lots of verifiable facts and just enough information on each topic to keep you interested. The language is easy to follow which is definately a plus as other texts used in various classes require having a dictionary on hand.

It does a great job of covering the many various topics within the church as well a factors that affected the church throughout the time period. I was actually impressed with how the author brought in a lot of what I would have considered secular issues and showed quite convincingly how and why those issues affected and effected the Church.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the History of the Catholic Church, specifically as it relates to the Church's involvement and/or non-involvement with secular issues in society as a whole.

Undergraduate level presentation of Roman Catholic church history from Reformation to present. Is very well done in reference to the 20th century through the Second Vatican Council.
