Whether taken as a book of faith or a cultural artifact, the New Testament is among the most significant writings the world has ever known, its web of meaning relied upon by virtually every major writer in the last 2,000 years. Yet the New Testament is not only one of Western civilization’s most believed books, but also one of its most widely disputed, often maligned, and least clearly understood, with a vast number of people unaware of how it was written and transmitted.

Dr. Greg Bottaro explains how mindfulness can help us become aware of the present moment and accept it. Catholic mindfulness is a way to practically trust God more in our lives. Instead of separating faith from day-to-day life, mindfulness helps bridge the gap so we can feel the sense of safety and peace God intends us to have. Following the exercises in this audiobook, you'll discover how mindfulness can help you be more present to everything in your life from a trip to the grocery store or relaxing with friends to listening more attentively to a homily.

In this brilliantly taught course, you will explore the theology and practice of the Catholic Mass with one of the world's leading liturgical professors as your guide. Catholics believe that every time they gather to celebrate, they are acting in obedience to Jesus' command to "do this in memory of me." Catholics have obeyed this command for nearly 2,000 years, and now you can explore anew the spiritual and theological meaning of this vital celebration.

Publisher's Summary

Take an unforgettable journey through the entire span of Church history.

The chronicle of Catholicism can seem daunting, full of names, dates, places, and phrases. To get ahold of such a rich and diverse history requires guidance and a skillful approach.

In this brilliant survey course, you'll explore the interaction between traditions of belief and innovate ways to describe, share, and live that faith. With award-winning historian Dr. Christopher Bellitto as your guide, you'll look at the major periods of Church history: early, medieval, reformation, and modern. As you take this journey, you'll examine what remained the same and what made a particular period unique.

In "Early Church," you'll see how a small group of believers spread the faith in a hostile pagan world. Then, in "Medieval Church," you'll see how popes and kings, bishops and local lords fought to control the Church as believers in the pews and plazas rediscovered the human Jesus of the gospels. Meanwhile, religious life adapted as Christianity encountered new cultures. "Reformation Church" considers how the Church recovered from its late medieval controversies and bridged the gap between science and religion. Finally, "Modern Church" explores how Vatican II has transformed Catholicism as she strides into her third millennium.

Dynamic and insightful, this course is a must-have resource. By understanding the history of the Church, you will understand its fascinating past as we journey into the future.

Critic Reviews

"Dynamic and accessible, Professor Christopher Belitto breathes life into Church history in ways that resonate with the experiences of contemporary audiences. Weaving solid scholarship with engaging stories he brings fresh perspectives to the events and people that influence the rich diversity of the Roman Catholic tradition." (Dr. Carmen Nanko-Fernández, Associate Professor of Hispanic Theology and Ministry, Catholic Theological Union)
"Master teacher, expert scholar, and superb communicator, Bellitto’s exquisitely masterful interpretations of the significance of the various eras of Church history enlighten and delight. Media commentator on all things papal and episcopal, Bellitto captures the importance of the meaning of the past for the Church in the contemporary moment." (Elena Procario-Foley, Driscoll Professor of Jewish-Catholic Studies, Iona College)

Historically inaccurate

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Truth

What was most disappointing about Prof. Christopher M. Bellitto, PhD’s story?

Emperor Constantine did not decide what was doctrine at the first council of Constantinople. Historical documents prove there were over 300 Bishops there who VOTED on the Creed and very few voted against it. Constantine was there but had no vote. Made me doubt everything else he said.
