The Catholic Church: A Short History Paperback - 2003
by Hans Kung
In this extraordinary book, the controversial and profoundly influential Hans Kung chronicles the Roman Catholic Church's role as a world power throughout history. Along the way, he examines the great schisms--between east and west, Catholic and Protestant--the evolving role of the papacy, the stories of the great reforming popes, and the expansion of a global church infrastructure.
First line
According to the gospels, the man from Nazareth virtually never used the word "church."
From the jacket flap
In this extraordinary book, the controversial and profoundly influential Hans Kung chronicles the Roman Catholic Church's role as a world power throughout history. Along the way, he examines the great schisms--between East and West, and Catholic and Protestant--as well as the evolving role of the papacy, the stories of the great reforming popes, and the expansion of a global church infrastructure. The book concludes with a searching assessment of how the Catholic faith will confront the immense challenges posed in the new millennium by those seeking reform of traditional strictures.
