Overview

Catholicism is the oldest and the largest of the Christian denominations and has become one of the world?s most practised faiths. This book provides a fascinating insight into the origins and history of the Catholic belief system. The first part of the book, Catholic History, shows how eventful, complex and exciting the story of the Church has been. Beginning with the life of Jesus Christ, the key events in the Christian story are retold. Subsequent periods of consolidation and transformation are discussed, such as the foundation of monastic orders and how Catholicism developed through the Middle Ages to the present day. The second part of the book, Catholic Doctrine, looks at the various teachings that constitute Catholic belief, from the Trinity and transubstantiation to the significance of the saints. Lavishly illustrated with more than 300 photographs and fine-art paintings, this comprehensive book offers a detailed account of the Church?s theology, rituals and achievements, essential reading for anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic faith.
