How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization [Paperback]
Thomas E Woods Jr. (Author), Cardinal Antonio Canizares (Introduction)
In the new paperback edition of bestselling author's Thomas E. Woods,
Jr.'s "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization", Woods
describes how and why the Catholic church gave Western Civilization some
of its most integral and distinctive characteristics. It comes now with
new introduction by Spanish Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church
Antonio Canizares. Ask someone today where Western Civilization
originated, and he or she might say Greece or Rome. But what is the
ultimate source of Western Civilization? Bestselling author and
professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the
Catholic Church. In the new paperback edition of his
critically-acclaimed book, "How the Catholic Church Built Western
Civilization", Woods goes far beyond the familiar tale of monks copying
manuscripts and preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity. Gifts such
as modern science, free-market economics, art, music, and the idea of
human rights come from the Catholic Church, explains Woods. No
institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the
two-thousand-year-old Catholic Church - and in ways that many of us have
forgotten or never known. "How the Catholic Church Built Western
Civilization" is essential reading for recovering this lost truth.
