" Authors Stephen Happel and David Tracy- both well-known Catholic theologians - unveil a meaningful interpretation of Catholic identity which underscores the worldwide emergence of a distinctive structure of Catholicism.
They support their picture of modern Catholicism with comprehensive historical research covering the biblical centuries, the patristic centuries, and the Middle Ages, as well as more recent Catholic movements.
The authors believe that the cumulative effects of the major developments in Catholic history are reflected in the contemporary community of believers;
they illustrate this belief through an integration of culture, art, and theology.
Profiles of the church's most challenging figures, its important structures, and its often controversial doctrine are included. "
