Catholic history jesus5/28/2023 If the author of this book is as passionate about the history of the Catholic Church as they claim to be, and if they were also Catholic, writing a history of the Church that doesn't omit important information should be easier than writing an incomplete history. I went to Catholic school for 10 of the 12 years before college. In 2021, James Crossley (editor of the Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus) announced that historical Jesus scholarship now had moved to the era of the Next Quest. Several reviews say that history presented here is incomplete, and the ommissions are not small. The author is clearly a believer, a Christian, though given other reviews here, wheher he is Catholic I’m unsure. I’m looking to read the history of the Catholic Church, and proper history will explain what practitioners of a faith believe, but will not list anything such as miracles or the resurrection of Jesus as if they were as much a fact that Jesus was likely born during the reign of Augustus Ceasar or that Constantine made Christianity the official faith of the Roman Empire. From the very first Chapter theological ideas & religious dogma are presented as fact along side actual historical facts as if both are the same.
