"Engaging and engrossinga mine of information and a
stimulus for reflection on the debt we owe Catholic life and thought."
Michael P. Foley, Ph.D., Baylor University

"Dr. Woods shows convincingly the fecundity of a supernatural approach to life.
This book is highly recommended."Dr. Alice von Hildebrand, professor emeritus,
the City University of New York

"I recommend Professor Woods's book not only to anyone interested in the history
of the Catholic Church, but also to any student of the history and development of
Western civilization."Dr. Paul Legutko, Stanford University

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 modern science, the wealth of free-market economics,
the security of law, a sense of human rights and freedom, charity as a virtue, splendid
art and music, philosophy grounded in reason, and innumerable other gifts we take for
granted. But what is the ultimate source of these gifts? Best-selling author and professor
Thomas E. Woods, Jr., provides the answer: the Catholic Church.

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. Woods's book
is essential reading for recovering this lost truth.

Thomas E. Woods, Jr., holds a bachelor's degree in history from Harvard and a master's and Ph.D. from Columbia University. A New York Times best-selling author, he teaches courses in Western civilization and is the associate editor of Latin Mass magazine. He lives in New York with his family.

Barrett Whitener has recorded audiobooks since 1992. His recordings have won several awards, including the Audio Publishers Association's Audie and four Earphones Awards. AudioFile cited him as among "the best voices of the century." He lives in Washington, D.C.
