This concise history of the Catholic Church tells the story of the two-thousand-year relationship between Jesus and the believers who have followed him.  It is a story of people: peasants and popes, saints and heretics, martyrs and apostates.  The story focuses on how common people throughout the ages have passed on the faith from generation to generation and tried to live the life of Christ. So the story of the church is also about the Spirit of God who dwells with us always.
