Bellitto Christopher (193 results)

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Tracing the story of the Catholic Church's 21 general councils is one of the best ways to learn about the 2,000-year course of Christianity, affirms church historian Christopher Bellitto. In this book, sister volume to his acclaimed Renewing Christianity, he offers readers a succinct history of the 21 general councils, beginning with the First Council of Nicaea in the year 325 and ending with the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. Bellitto organizes the councils into four parts: the councils of the early church, of the Middle Ages, of the Reformation and of modern times (Vatican I and I). And he introduces readers to the historical contexts, major tasks, achievements and failures of the councils and their impact on their times. Timely and informational, The General Councils is ideal for undergraduates and general readers. Highlights: --Ideal companion volume for Renewing Christianity (Brilliant.--Library Journal). --Written in accessible, non-technical language. --A fast-paced read.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Catholics need an adult understanding of their faith and history for its own sake as well as to be able to link the Church's today with her past. From the Introduction Church History 101 introduces the reader to the basics of Catholic Church history. Author Christopher Bellitto divides the Church's history into four distinct periods (early, medieval, Reformation, and modern). Each chapter is further subdivided into manageable segments to address four major issues: The Big Picture, The Church's Hierarchy, The Church in the Pews, and What Makes This Period Unique?

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book follows the tide of reform and renewal in Church history, and demonstrates that reform has always been an essential element of Christianity. Indeed, Christopher Bellitto emphasizes that reform should not be perceived as limited to the Reformation or Vatican I. As one learns from the author's analysis, the history of Christianity is little other than the history of reform. This sweeping assessment of Church history is both remarkable and deep, but is also highly readable. Bellitto begins with an introduction to the subject of reform and follows that with chapters on the patristic period and Carolingian Renaissance, the High Middle Ages (1050-1300), Avignon to Trent, From Trent to Modernity, and Vatican I. He ends with a conclusion that draws together the recurring themes and patterns of reform activity in the Church. In short, this is a unique book on the subject of Church reform. Renewing Christianity is useful to both scholars and non-academics alike. It is written in a learnedly popular style, and would appeal to clergy, seminarians, academics, graduate students or anyone interested in Church reform and renewal, Church history, or historical theology.…
