About this product

Product Information

Ask a college student today what he knows about the Catholic Church and his answer might come down to one word: "corruption." But that one word should be "civilization." Western civilization has given us the miracles of modern science, the wealth of free-market economics, the security of the rule of law, a unique sense of human rights and freedom, charity as a virtue, splendid art and music, a philosophy grounded in reason, and innumerable other gifts that we take for granted as the wealthiest and most powerful civilization in history. But what is the ultimate source of these gifts? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic Church. Woods's story goes far beyond the familiar tale of monks copying manuscripts and preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity. In How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, you'll learn: - Why modern science was born in the Catholic Church - How Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market economics five hundred years before Adam Smith - How the Catholic Church invented the university - Why what you know about the Galileo affair is wrong - How Western law grew out of Church canon law - How the Church humanized the West by insisting on the sacredness of all human life 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.

Ordered a workbook. No where in description did it say it was written in. Took 10 days to receive. Contacted seller twice and included photos of the inside of the book and they failed to reply. I’d seriously reconsider purchasing from this seller.

I am SUPER happy with this transaction. I got an epic deal on a less common hardcover. They sold it to me for about $9 and all the others like it are going for about $30. There was no photo but really happy! Mack was ahead of his time, and a beautiful soul, taken too soon. Thank you on this great deal! Looking forward to reading about all these alien encounters, with such a great minds, insight. The book was listed as good and it was indeed in really good condition. Thanks a lot !!

Great book for study and learning about positive impacts of the Catholic Church throughout history
This is a more advanced book. To fully understand it, I found myself doing lots of research on the references made. This is not the author's fault as there is just too much info to put into one book. If you want to learn about the history of the Church and the amazing impact it has had on society, this is a good book. Just be prepared to do dig deeper when you may not know a reference. It also inspired me to think that that the Church is meant to evolve and adapt as organism. That does not mean their teachings should change, but that the strategy of spreading the truth can change. I look at this as an intro to learning about the history of Church that focuses on the positive impacts to society. It is only an intro as there is so much more that written in the book.

It is quite an eye opener. After reading, just ask yourself, what would the world be like without the Catholic Church. I do not want to dwell on the answer as it would be a much worse place than it is today.

How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization
I am a Baptist who is good friends with a non-computer person and order books from time to time for him. We have many discussions on many subjects, including our respective religious beliefs. We get together over his coffee and my Diet Coke at a local Burger King and talk about the differences and similarities in our beliefs. He tells me that the book is highly informative and full of "Catholic" facts. We have found the book to be historically correct in the happenings and have used it as a basis of discussion on several occasions. While neither of us have been converted to the other ones belief, we do have many good talks using this book.I am a Baptist who is good friends with a non-computer person and order books from time to time for him.

Academic grade history research in a very engaging package
This is a must have. The mainstream history paints the middle ages as the "dark ages". Yet is hard to reconcile the "dark" when you consider figures of the stature of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the technological advances and hospitals and university systems that originated in these "dark times" Thomas Woods, renown historian, goes over the history of Europe and the western civilization in a easy to read, yet deep and well sourced book.

Tom Woods at great value
Tom Woods is a great man with an ability to look at things in a fresh light, cutting away the age-old tropes, canards, and lazy propaganda that we have been taught to take almost for granted. It's great to be able to find such a book in hard cover format at such good value!
