Segment 3 – The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful: A History in Three Dimensions
“Christ is ‘the way, and the truth, and the life’, but fallen mankind, although made in Christ’s image, is not so pure. Human history—including Church history—is a tapestry woven of three threads: the good, the bad, and the beautiful. This book tells the story of Christendom over two millennia, focusing on what was good, bad, and beautiful in each century.”
