N2  - [The author] takes readers on a ... comprehensive journey into the Catholic Church ... [He] realises how wide is the gap between the people's understanding of the Church and the Church's historical realities [and] seeks to close this gap by critically exploring such areas as: the variety of ministries in the early Church; the Crusades; the piety of the Middle Ages; the challenge of the Reformation; the role of the pope; the rise, fall and recent reinstatement of the diaconate; the changing role of women in the Church; and the origins of liturgies and popular devotions.-Back cover
