          In A Concise History of the Catholic Church, Thomas Bokenkotter, professor and Catholic pastor in Cincinnati, demonstrates his flair for distilling mountains of scholarship into intelligent, highly readable prose.

          This is a necessary talent for the educator and the pastor—i.e., for the public speaker; but it is rare that an educator and a pastor can actually write this clearly. The scholarship is implied but not obtrusive. Footnotes are minimal.

          Expanded and updated for the new millennium.

          But there is a sizeable annotated bibliography.

          The original 1977 book of the same title was updated in 1979 and 1990, and, with this latest edition, in 2004. Despite this 2004 imprint, a final, brief chapter brings us up to April of 2005 with Pope John Paul II’s death and the new pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI.

          The book is divided into five parts, and each part has from six to ten chapters.
