Europe and the Faith

Více o knize

The analysis explores the transformation of the Roman Empire into medieval Christendom, arguing against the notion of a sharp "fall" and instead presenting it as a gradual transition influenced by the Catholic Church. Belloc emphasizes the importance of understanding the Church's role in early history, regardless of one's beliefs. His sociological insights also shed light on the Protestant Reformation. This accessible book is valuable for anyone interested in European history and the intricate relationship between faith and societal change.
