Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the evolution of Catholic beliefs, practices, and structures over two millennia. The author seamlessly interweaves the arguments of Catholic apologists with those of their most ardent critics, who variously denounced Catholicism as a pagan corruption of true Christianity, a tool of despotism, and the seedbed of immorality and superstition. Its thematic depth is reflected in its extensive treatment of evolution of Papal authority, indulgences, saints, veneration of relics, the role of the Virgin Mary, the relationship between faith and reason, the nature of transubstantiation, the methods of interpreting scripture, and the existence of Purgatory. The author walks a fine line between presenting the Catholic position in a way that is both fair yet critical, and no less fair to its detractors. Ultimately, the textâs objective is not to force the reader towards one viewpoint or another, but to provide a framework for a deeper understanding of one of the central institutions in Western Civilization.
