The epic story of the Catholic Church spans thousands of years. With
an unlikely beginning in a remote outpost of the Roman empire, the
Catholic Church now claims more than one billion living members. The
persecutions, martyrdoms, conquests, and triumphs all came together to
shape Western civilization as we know it today.

Our identity as Catholics means that we are the inheritors of the deeds of
holy men and women who for 2,000 years have built a great civilization
and spread the Gospel throughout the world. Church history is not just the
recitation of popes, people, places, and events; it is a story of adventure,
intrigue, rebellion, reform, and devotion. This story is, in fact, our story;
this is our family. If we know our past, and how we fit into the story, we
will be better prepared to face whatever may come in the future.

Utilizing the same structure as The Great Adventure, Epic presents twelve
color-coded time periods of Church history that identify major events in
Church History, culture, and politics, as well as the popes, martyrs, saints
and Doctors of the Church. Developed by teachers and historians Steve
Weidenkopf and Dr. Alan Schreck, this exciting learning system will
teach you Church history from a truly Catholic perspective.
