INVITATION CATHOLIC HISTORY
" This highly readable and richly informative work is the first book-length study of American Catholic history to be written by a non-Catholic in almost 500 years. " " Martin E. Marty, historian and National Book Award winning author, makes it worth the long wait. His view is comprehensive- beginning with the "official" discovery of the New World by a Catholic named Columbus, he moves through the ensuing centuries to the present with scholarly precision fleshed out with his broad ecumenical vision and spirited style. " " "While Americans are often accused of having little sense of history," Dr. Marty writes in his foreword, "it must be said that Catholics especially neglect their rich history on this continent. Their professional historians are often lonely practitioners. They seem irrelevant to some of the Catholic diers and shapers. Their stories are too rich in contradiction for the simplicists. They are too expressive of human limits to satisfy the pious who would lead-case their Catholicism. Better days are ahead: we appear to be at a moment when Catholics are beginning to retrieve their past for the sake of their future. " " "My interest is not to let this book be a mere curiosity that will inspire Catholics to 'see themselves as others see them.' Instead, I hope that my insider/outsider vantage will help Catholics find their identity just as it may help non-Catholics locate American Catholicism and deal with it. History aims to approach such things only very modestly. Yet the search through the past can be informative, reflective, even entertaining at times. " " An Invitation to American Catholic History is all of that, and more. " Contents includes: " Foreword: An Invitation to American Catholic History Chapter I. Beginnings: 1492-1607 Chapter II. Add Two Traditions: 1608-1776 Chapter III. The Republic: 1776-1852 Chapter IV. Immigrant Peoples: 1852-1908 Chapter V. Public Catholicism: 1908-1950 Chapter VI. The Pluralists: 1960- Index " This book is in very good to excellent condition with some wear and tear to the dust jacket. |
