Ask someone today where Western Civilization originated, and he or
she might say Greece or Rome. But what is the ultimate source of
Western Civilization? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E.
Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic Church.
In the new paperback edition of his critically-acclaimed book, How
the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, Woods goes far
beyond the familiar tale of monks copying manuscripts and
preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity. Gifts such as modern
science, free-market economics, art, music, and the idea of human
rights come from the Catholic Church, explains Woods. In How the
Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, you'll learn: Why
modern science was born in the Catholic Church How Catholic priests
developed the idea of free-market economics five hundred years
before Adam Smith How the Catholic Church invented the university
Why what you know about the Galileo affair is wrong How Western law
grew out of Church canon law How the Church humanized the West by
insisting on the sacredness of all human life 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. How the Catholic Church Built
Western Civilization is essential reading for recovering this lost
truth.
