Catholic History Textbooks

Our view of history textbooks is that they provide a good overview of an historical period, but they are not enough on their own.
Supplement with plenty of real books as well as hands-on projects, research and writing projects.

The Catholic Church, First 2000 Years
A Popular Survey and Study Guide to Church History
 
    by Martha Rasmussen Ignatius Press

From the Publisher:
This book is a popular overview and study guide to the history of the Catholic Church. Written for non-scholarly readers with little historical background, it includes descriptions of society in different historical eras in order to make the history of the Church more understandable. The book explains important doctrinal, spiritual, and historical questions and developments. It identifies many popular saints and includes interesting historical characters.

Catholics seeking a deeper spiritual life and a closer relationship with God will find many helpful ideas to trust God’s love and care for them. The story of how the Church survived earlier trials will encourage people struggling with current challenges in the Church or discouraged by difficulties in their own lives.

This book is useful in RCIA and religious education classes, for personal study, Catholic high school or college classes, or discussion groups.
