Resumen del Editor
Hilaire Belloc examines the five most destructive heretical movements to have affected Christian civilization: Arianism, Mohammedanism (Islam), Albigensianism (Cathar), the Reformation (Protestant), and the modern phase. Belloc describes how these movements began, how they spread, and how they continued to influence the world up until the time of his writing (1936). The chapter on Islam is especially relevant today; in it Belloc accurately predicts the renewal of jihadist aggression towards western civilization.

Historia
In the tradition of Jared Diamond and Jacques Barzun, prize-winning historian Anthony Pagden presents a sweeping history of the long struggle between East and West, from the Greeks to the present day.
The relationship between East and West has always been one of turmoil. In this historical tour de force, a renowned historian leads us from the world of classical antiquity, through the Dark Ages, to the Crusades, Europe's resurgence, and the dominance of the Ottoman Empire, which almost shattered Europe entirely. Pagden travels from Napoleon in Egypt to Europe's carving up of the finally moribund Ottomans - creating the modern Middle East along the way - and on to the present struggles in Iraq.

Ferdinand Lot (1866-1952) was one of the great historians of his generation, and the transition from Roman to Medieval civilization was a process that fascinated him most of his life. Rather than placing the emphasis for Rome’s fall on purely political or military reasons, Lot put forth multiple explanations for the birth of the Middle Ages which embrace not only politics and war, but linguistic, geographic, cultural, social and economic factors.

Having coined the phrase "the war that will end war," H. G. Wells was disillusioned by the World War I peace settlement. Convinced that humanity needed to awaken to the instability of the world order and remember lessons from the past, the author of science-fiction classics set out to write about history. Wells hoped to remind mankind of its common past, provide it with a basis for international patriotism, and guide it to renounce war.

Until about 1800, the West and the Islamic realm were like two adjacent, parallel universes, each assuming itself to be the center of the world while ignoring the other. As Europeans colonized the globe, the two world histories intersected and the Western narrative drove the other one under. The West hardly noticed, but the Islamic world found the encounter profoundly disrupting.

For the first time, religious self-identification is on the decline in American. Some analysts have cited as cause a post-9/11 perception: that faith in general is a source of aggression, intolerance, and divisiveness - something bad for society. But how accurate is that view? With deep learning and sympathetic understanding, Karen Armstrong sets out to discover the truth about religion and violence in each of the world’s great traditions, taking us on an astonishing journey from prehistoric times to the present.

For over 20 years, a select group of Yale undergraduates has been admitted into the year-long "Grand Strategy" seminar team-taught by John Lewis Gaddis and Paul Kennedy. Its purpose: to provide a grounding in strategic decision-making in the face of crisis to prepare future American leaders for important work. Now, John Lewis Gaddis has transposed the experience of that course into a wonderfully succinct, lucid and inspirational book, a view from the commanding heights of statesmanship across the landscape of world history from the ancient Greeks to Lincoln, and beyond.

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) - one of the most prominent Catholic authors of his time - gives a common-sense explanation of why the Crusades were necessary and why they ultimately failed. Writing in 1937, following the demise of the Ottoman Empire, Belloc believed that the West had finally gained the advantage over its mortal foe; however, he also includes a prophetic warning concerning the eventual resurgence of Islam and its enduring desire to destroy Christendom.

In this 1912 classic, wide-ranging polemicist Hilaire Belloc presents a new economic history of Europe and makes his case for "Distributism", the author’s answer to the instability of capitalism and the stringency of socialism. Belloc outlines the major economic transitions through the history of the West, arguing that the civilization began as servile and dependent upon slavery and only emerged with the advent of the Christian faith. The Middle Ages are highlighted as the optimal condition, marked by a fair distribution of property.

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) was one of the great Catholic authors and historians of the twentieth century. Born in France, and raised in Great Britain, Belloc later became a naturalised British subject and served in Parliament from 1906 to 1910. After his brief political career Belloc continued his writing, commenting on a large variety of topics throughout his lifetime. This essay, written shortly after the outbreak of WWII (February 1940), examines the state of the war from a Catholic perspective.

One of the most artful narratives ever written concerning the life of "The Maid". Hilaire Belloc writes with a familiarity only possessed by those with an intimate knowledge of the facts.

"Nothing more strangely indicates an enormous and silent evil of modern society than the extraordinary use which is made nowadays of the word orthodox. In former days the heretic was proud of not being a heretic. It was the kingdoms of the world and the police and the judges who were heretics. He was orthodox. He had no pride in having rebelled against them; they had rebelled against him. The armies with their cruel security, the kings with their cold faces, the decorous processes of State, the reasonable processes of law - all these like sheep had gone astray...."

St. Francis worked hard at evangelizing Calvinist Protestants to return to the Catholic faith. However, they were afraid of the backlash, and so, St. Francis wrote pamphlets and slipped them under doors and posted them on walls. After four years of his efforts, more than 70,000 people had returned to the faith. These pamphlets were compiled into this book, which remains one of the best sources for defending the Catholic faith.

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) - one of the most prominent Catholic authors of his time - gives a common-sense explanation of why the Crusades were necessary and why they ultimately failed. Writing in 1937, following the demise of the Ottoman Empire, Belloc believed that the West had finally gained the advantage over its mortal foe; however, he also includes a prophetic warning concerning the eventual resurgence of Islam and its enduring desire to destroy Christendom.

Historia
In this 1912 classic, wide-ranging polemicist Hilaire Belloc presents a new economic history of Europe and makes his case for "Distributism", the author’s answer to the instability of capitalism and the stringency of socialism. Belloc outlines the major economic transitions through the history of the West, arguing that the civilization began as servile and dependent upon slavery and only emerged with the advent of the Christian faith. The Middle Ages are highlighted as the optimal condition, marked by a fair distribution of property.

Historia
Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) was one of the great Catholic authors and historians of the twentieth century. Born in France, and raised in Great Britain, Belloc later became a naturalised British subject and served in Parliament from 1906 to 1910. After his brief political career Belloc continued his writing, commenting on a large variety of topics throughout his lifetime. This essay, written shortly after the outbreak of WWII (February 1940), examines the state of the war from a Catholic perspective.

Historia
One of the most artful narratives ever written concerning the life of "The Maid". Hilaire Belloc writes with a familiarity only possessed by those with an intimate knowledge of the facts. A Catholic, of both French and English descent; Belloc clearly had an emotional affinity for this episode in the long struggle between the two nations.

Historia
"Nothing more strangely indicates an enormous and silent evil of modern society than the extraordinary use which is made nowadays of the word orthodox. In former days the heretic was proud of not being a heretic. It was the kingdoms of the world and the police and the judges who were heretics. He was orthodox. He had no pride in having rebelled against them; they had rebelled against him. The armies with their cruel security, the kings with their cold faces, the decorous processes of State, the reasonable processes of law - all these like sheep had gone astray...."

Historia
St. Francis worked hard at evangelizing Calvinist Protestants to return to the Catholic faith. However, they were afraid of the backlash, and so, St. Francis wrote pamphlets and slipped them under doors and posted them on walls. After four years of his efforts, more than 70,000 people had returned to the faith. These pamphlets were compiled into this book, which remains one of the best sources for defending the Catholic faith.

Scholarly But Sobering Take in Church and History
A very impressive but at times confusing account of impact and importance of historical events. At one point I thought maybe author had bitten off more than could be chewed. But that more aptly goes to my ability to discern and fully comprehend all he covered in this sobering book.
I couldn't help but wonder or take issue in my own mind with the author's frequent use if the word catholic as seemingly the agreed upon universal ly accepted church authority. He does make passing reference to the Eastern Church (Orthodox) and the schism, even to say to be dealt with in some other time and place. But the use throughout is to deny or obscure the theological underpinnings of the division of the church into Roman catholic and Eastern orthodox. Up until that unfortunate event, it was One Holy and Apostolic Church. Later on the author gives a hint ad to why..."the ancient religion is now ignored". I take issue with that assertion.
This book has completely disturbed the notion of some sort of unification of the church in some grand reconciliation for the greater good and to challenge the anti-Christ. It probably is an unrealistic wish in the end anyway, and the manner in which the author describes the internicene battle between catholicism and protestantism seems it irreconcilable. I have never really held THAT pessimistic belief. I have chosen to think a civil historical debate done with humility could win the day at an ecumenical level to be explained and justified to the masses of the faithful Christian community and over time be accepted. The author has eliminated that possibility all together. He is probably correct.
I think this work can be summarized and simplified by the teaching of my parish priest, who has described the historical events covered in such detail by the author as follows: The history of Christianity can be likened to a pendulum. The excesses of the hierarchical church (Roman catholicism) swung the pendulum way past it's home base in one direction. That begat the challenged by Martin Luther (in large part indulgences). Luther simply wanted the Church to return to it's original doctrinal moorings (the center point of pendulum). Instead he was dismissed and excommunicated and the Protestant Reformation was birthed. That over- reaction to the excesses produced the solo scriptural doctrine of individualistic interpretation of the Bible and rejection of central authoritative religion via a hierarchy of priests and bishops ((Patriarchs and Pope in Rome). That was the pendulum swinging back thru the center equilibrium point to the other side, also an extreme.
I find it sad commentary that the division in the Body of Christ can not reconcile itself in a unification of sorts at some point in the future. The author would put such event, if at all possible, too little too late I would think.
I fully enjoyed listening to this audible book, even if much if it was a bit over my head and an intellectual matter.

So prescient about now and clear about then
The last sections on modern circumstances is amazingly spot on for today despite the number of decades since its writing. The review of historical heresies iis excellent also.

A must listen for any modern Catholic
Belloc is a brilliant historian. I had wanted to get his take on the major historical heresies along with his views on modernism which we are still living through. It was well worth the listen. He is a hopeful realist on the point of the Church offering two competing visions. He predicts today from 1939. The narration was solid as well, making it an easy listen.

Classic and timeless
This book describes with important facts and details the five main Christian heresies, a classic piece of Church history. It is timeless because even if it was written in 1930's, it still valid for our days.
I highly recommend those chapters that talk about Islam and Modernism.

Great
Spot on, great and accurate in history, great narrator. I love the writer, the understanding of the catholic church being undermined for so long.

An important angle at which to view western history
Mr. Belloc shows his mastery of history showing a much neglected view of history, that is to say, the catholic view. Without an understanding of this world view, one cannot pretend to understand the history of western thought.
Although fairly dated Belloc's assumptions stand the test of time and remain eerily prophetic.

Could not hold my attention
An excellent book, but the reader could not hold my attention. He did not read with an understanding of the material. I lost a little bit of respect for the reader when he pronounced “beatitude” as “beautitude”.
