Subtitle: A Concise Overview

Bellitto explains what the Church looked like during the four traditionally recognized eras of Church history: Early, Medieval, Reformation, and Modern.

Each chapter includes a map and timeline and addresses these topics:

1) The Big Picture: a broad overview of the era;

2) The Church's Hierarchy: a look at the popes, cardinals and bishops and their concerns;

3) The Church in the Pews: what Christianity was like for the average person; and

4) What made this period unique--taking a comparative approach.
