Church History 101 A Concise Overview Author/Editor: Christopher M. Bellitto Publisher Name: Liguori Publications Order #: 978-0-7648-1603-1 Retail Price: $14.95 Publisher Website: www.liguori.org Audience: Adult Medium: Paperbook
Description: One may read about the "early church" or the "Renaissance popes" without a clear idea of the who-where-when-what-why-and-how of those eras. This easy-to-read volume answers the basic question "what did the Church look like in this particular period?" for the four traditionally recognized eras of Church history: early, medieval, Reformation, and modern.
Each chapter includes a map and timeline to locate the reader in time and place. The timeline identifies what else was going on. Then they address 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 with their concerns; 3) The Church in the Pews: what was Christianity like for the average person; and 4) What made this period unique--taking a comparative approach.
All chapters conclude with discussion questions and a list for further reading.

Embark on a journey through the Sunday readings with award-winning biblical commentator Alice Camille.

Camille taps into the power of the liturgical cycle by offering a brief reflection on each reading coupled with discussion questions to encourage readers to engage Scripture and make the connection between God’s Word and everyday life. An “Action Response” concludes each Sunday’s commentary by presenting concrete ideas for people to live the message of Scripture.
Each commentary drives to the heart of the readings, distilling the core meanings of Scripture in new and inspiring ways. Her reflections, such as “Shepherds,” “What’s in a Name?” and “A Life Given Freely,” are written in accessible, understandable language, yet packed full of scholarly insight that makes God’s Word Is Alive a useful resource for the biblical novice and expert alike.
Ideal for individual reflection, group discussion, and homily preparation, God’s Word Is Alive also contains an index of Scripture readings that takes the reader through the Bible in sequential order, as well as an essential calendar detailing the readings for each Sunday of the liturgical cycle through the year 2016.
