This classic one-volume history, of which E.E.Y. Hales wrote in The Tablet : 'There is no other book...which conveys so much information in so limited a space, or which can be relied upon with more confidence' is here updated for the second time. Peter Doyle's final chapter, titled 'The Church in the Post-Modern World,' which he describes as 'an impressionistic account of some of the issues facing the Church as it nears the third millenium of its existence,' covers: statistics of the Church worldwide; the effects of the end of the Cold War; ecumenical and inter-faith developments; tensions between the Roman Curia and bishops' conferences; the Catechism of the Catholic Church; papal encyclicals; social questions; questions affecting the laity, especially women; the Church and international politics; religious freedom; Third World debt and the Jubilee Year, and more.
