The People Of God Series (6 Volume Set) Anthony E. Gilles

The history of Catholicism is the history of Christian faith. Anthony E. Gilles traces its development through the Jewish traditions of the Old Testament to Christian Church beginnings in hushed gatherings within the Roman Empire to its current size and influence —in an accessible and enjoyable style. These are the original paperback St. Anthony Messenger Press publications (1983-1988) of the six history volumes comprising this best-selling People of God Series.
