Appartiene alle SerieA History of Christendom (Volume 3) Elenchi di rilievo
This series is the only comprehensive narration of Western history written from the orthodox Catholic perspective still in print. How would a historical narrative read if the author began with these first principles: Truth exists; the Incarnation happened? This series is essential reading for those who consider the West worth defending. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The one large criticism I'd make, now that I think about it, is that Carroll sort of jumps from major episode to major episode, so that the book reads like a sequence of shorter histories rather than a unified whole. That said, I've never read a history of the Middle Ages that tries to present a narrative of the whole era (two such narratives suggest themselves: the Hohenstaufens versus the Papacy, and the Normans versus the world), so I'm not criticizing him too strongly for it. Suffice it to say that Chesterton was right, though: the medieval ideal "was not tried and found wanting, but found difficult, and left untried." The Middle Ages were _much_ shorter than we imagine they were: only about 450 years, about the same length of time as the Han Dynasty, passed between the Norman Conquest and the Protestant Reformation.
