Christian History

In this section, I have included a brief overview of Christian history, somewhat arbitrarily selected. This section may be added to from time to time.

I have removed a section that I once included on the child sexual abuse charges levied against the Catholic Church, as I have come to believe that, while horrific, they were exaggerated and unfair to the vast majority of Catholics, including clergy, who do not molest children.

Some books on the subject include:

• Church Ethics and its Organizational Context
• The Coming Catholic Church: How the Faithful Are Shaping a New American Catholicism
• From Scandal to Hope
