Christendom Press, 2000 - History - 801 pages
This fourth of a projected six volumes is primarily concerned with the split in Christendom caused by the Protestant revolt caused by Martin Luther and his followers. It covers in detail the years between the emergence of Luther as a major figure and the beginning of the personal reign of Louis XIV in France in 1661, with separate discussions of the missionary efforts and accomplishments of the Church in America and the Orient during these years. It explores in depth how the great division of Christendom came about.
