Recommended Reading for Parent/Teachers

 

 

2000 Years of Christian History
by Gloria Thomas and Warren Carroll

Beginning with the life of Jesus Christ, Catholic artist Gloria Thomas provides a century-by-century tour of the 2000 years of Christian history.  The 21 beautiful 9"x18" paintings fold out to provide an overview of each century of the two millennia of history.  Accompanying the individual art prints are historical articles summarizing the highlights of the century, written by Catholic historian, Dr. Warren Carroll.  These articles are excellent overviews of each century of history from the first through the 20th, emphasizing the dominant saints of the period. 

This work of love, inspired by the Jubilee year 2000, is a testimony to God's presence in the Church and in the world throughout history.  We have incorporated this book into the Overview section of each unit of Connecting with History Volume Two as both an art appreciation and history lesson in one!  We highly recommend using it with the program.

Catechism of Church History 
by Fr. Robert Fox

A great reference for learning Church history yourself, as parent/teacher!  Not necessary for using Connecting with History, but highly recommended if you would like to increase your own knowledge.

[From the back cover]  By the grace of God I found my way out of much anti-Catholic misunderstanding and discovered for myself...the historical development of doctrine—the fullness of true faith in Catholicism that is loyal to Peter and his successors.  I’ve come to a new appreciation of the importance to know Church history.  This book, A Catechism of Church History, takes us in an easy way from the beginnings of Christianity to the reign of Pope John Paul II..

I would like to see this book in every Catholic home, in the hands of teenagers, young adults and parents.  You will discover in an easy way 2000 years of Church history, as presented in the context, not simply of historical facts, but from a spirit of faith and love for Jesus Christ and His Church. 

Catholics of all ages—and in every age—need to know their ROOTS.  You will find those roots in this volume.

 - Dr. Scott Hahn


This 4th Edition brings the student reader into the long reign of Pope John Paul II.  296 pages.
