The Rise of the Mediaeval Church: And Its Influence on the Civilisation of Western Europe From the First to the Thirteenth Century

by Alexander Clarence Flick

Excerpt from The Rise of the Mediaeval And Its Influence on the Civilisation of Western Europe From the First to the Thirteenth Century

The comparatively recent revival of interest in Church history has given birth to many general Church histories from English and American scholars. Numer ous translations of discriminating and painstaking German authors are also available. A large number of intensive monographs has likewise appeared. But all these texts are written for classes in theological schools. Not a single Church history suitable either for regular college work, or for popular reading, is available; and yet all the standard courses in history are provided with up-to-date texts and illustrative material.
