Pertenece a las seriesA History of Christendom (Volume 4) Listas de sobresalientes
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. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Still, it's thoroughly recommended. Personally, I had the interesting experience of learning about the Reformation era through Fernand Braudel, then other contemporary historians, then Carroll, and thereby missing the Protestant-hagiography version; but if you've encountered that version (the evil Inquisition, the evil Jesuits, the evil Duke of Alba, etc.), this will fill you in on what the world of the Catholic Reformation looks like from the inside.
(Note that modern secular historians favor the term 'Catholic Reformation' over 'Counter-Reformation' for the internal reforms of the Catholic Church in this era, especially after the Council of Trent; the point is that this was a reform that was going to have happened whether there was a Protestant Reformation or not -- and which was already beginning, especially in Spain, before Martin Luther. Not surprisingly, Carroll follows their lead.) ( )
