This text traces the impact of Christ's
Church in and through the lives of people over the past two thousand
years. Using a historical-critical approach, the text describes how the
Catholic Church has responded to the historical and cultural circumstances
of the times. Tools used in this book include websites, maps, charts,
timelines, and biographical sketches of people, some more known than
others, who have made an impact on the Church. The Beatitudes, as presented
in the epilogue, is the framework for encouraging students to think about
how they will contribute to the Church, now and in the future.
