About this listen

Hilaire Belloc examines the five most destructive heretical movements to have affected Christian civilization: Arianism, Mohammedanism (Islam), Albigensianism (Cathar), the Reformation (Protestant), and the modern phase. Belloc describes how these movements began, how they spread, and how they continued to influence the world up until the time of his writing (1936). The chapter on Islam is especially relevant today; in it Belloc accurately predicts the renewal of jihadist aggression towards western civilization.

This filled in a few gaps in my knowledge of Church history. Fairly easy read considering the subject. A bit hard to hear though - the reader cracked a pace and I found it just a bit too quick to keep up at times.
