- SKU:
- CASA13
Description
Knowing our Catholic history is extremely important because it is often attacked and misrepresented in the modern world. In order to refute the myths and defend the Church, we must be steeped in our Catholic history and know the people and events that comprise it.
Learning Catholic history is not only important for apologetics, but also for evangelization because some people believe the myths perpetuated against the Church and end up losing their Faith.
Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this course:
- Birthday of the Church
- The Council of Jerusalem
- The Burning of Rome
- The Antipope Who Became a Saint
- The Rise of Islam
- Papal Reform
- The Disaster of the Fourth Crusade
These lessons and others in this course will help you gain insight into the past, so that we can defend our Catholic history from attack and teach it to others.

Church history
Excellent walk through the timeless history of the Catholic Church.

Very formative
I was looking forward to taking this course. Having heard some talks from Steve Weidenkopf about the Crusades, I was very curious about other periods and events that shaped the Church through history, especially at the beginning and through the Middle Ages. I was not disappointed. The course covers the most relevant aspects and the content is laid out very clearly and in an interesting manner. Definitely a great resource.

![In his Catholic Answers School of Apologetics course, Evidence for the Church, Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples shares hard-won insights into the apologetics of ecclesiology that will empower you to defend the Catholic Church to anyone.
He explores in depth the Church as “the fullness of [Jesus Christ]” (Eph. 1:22-23) in the world as a foundation to understanding its divine authority.
He shows how the Church is visible, hierarchical, and authoritative—as opposed to the invisible, fallible church of Protestantism.
He reveals why Jesus chose not to “name” his Church but rather gave it four unmistakable marks.
He explains the scriptural doctrine of apostolic succession, the foundational teaching of the Christian faith that has been lost to countless Protestant Christians.
He calls upon Eastern Catholicism’s concept of theosis as a key to understanding many of the Church’s most controversial claims.
Throughout, he makes what was once difficult to understand surprisingly easy.
This course comprises more than fifty short, easy-to-watch video segments so you can study at your own pace, revisit what you would like, and make sure you understand the material thoroughly.
Evidence for the Church will equip you to defend Holy Mother Church and to bring souls to Jesus Christ through the institution he established on Earth.](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-smelw44hfe/images/stencil/350x350/products/1921/4120/Online_Evidence_for_the_Church___97646.1606340916.jpg?c=2 "In his Catholic Answers School of Apologetics course, Evidence for the Church, Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples shares hard-won insights into the apologetics of ecclesiology that will empower you to defend the Catholic Church to anyone.
