Rock of the Apostles A Brief History of Catholic Tradition

De: Julian Bauer

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

For over two thousand years, the Catholic Church has relied on both Holy Scriptures and its Living Tradition to explain the Word of God. This highly readable and informative history of that amazing tradition recounts the major schisms, heresies, and slanders that were aimed at the Church in each danger-filled generation and how the Church countered those attacks. No student of the Catholic Church can ignore its traditions and its need for a teaching authority—a Magisterium. From the Fathers of the Church to recent popes, from Doctors of the Church to its saints, the human race has benefited by the teachings of the Church. This enjoyable and fascinating revelation of the Deposit of Faith from one generation to another explains the need to inculcate new cultures, new languages, new ways of explaining the road to salvation passed down from the lips of Jesus Christ to the Universal Church. While the audience for this brief but highly interesting book is expected to be high school, CCD, and home school students, any history buff or Catholic adult will find in it an excellent overview of the religious influence wielded by the Church over the years. An influence which cries out for acceptance in today’s secular world.
