À propos de cet audio

 In this compelling series of lectures, widely esteemed author and professor Thomas F. Madden illustrates how the papacy, the world's oldest institution, gave birth to the West.

Since Jesus Christ instructed the foremost of his Apostles, Peter, that he would be the rock upon which Christ would build his church, the papacy has survived the rise and fall of empires while continuing to assert an undeniable influence on world events. The men who have served as pope are a fascinating collection of larger-than-life personages who have touched millions of lives, changed the course of history, and even launched crusades that have altered the balance of global politics.

With a learned approach and incisive analysis, Professor Madden not only provides a history of the papacy, but sheds light on the personalities of the popes and the flavor of their pontificates. At the same time, Madden demonstrates how the papacy has survived the tumultuous cauldron of history and offers a studied commentary on the future of this resilient institution.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

As a new convert to Catholicism, I was looking for an introduction to the church’s history from a catholic perspective. Prof. Madden offers a powerful, sweeping overview of one of the most enduring institutions in human history. I have a new profound appreciation for the papacy, especially it’s ability to endure the rise and fall of empires, city-states, kingdoms, nations, and ideologies. Through this single focus, Madden manages to weave not just a narrative of the Catholic Church, but indeed a narrative of Europe itself. He touches on heresies and councils, reforms and controversies, high points of papal heroism and low points of papal corruption. But throughout, he maintains a tone of fairness and respect to all parties involved. A really great course on the church from an astute medievalist. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Crash-Course on the Papacy
