Given the recent scandals involving the Catholic Church, students of theology might discount its influence on Western civilization and simply write Catholicism off as a corrupt religion. But that would be a mistake. New York Times bestselling author Professor Thomas Woods reveals in his new book, How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, how the Catholic Church is the primary institution responsible for Western civilization's gifts of modern science, the university, international law, charity, and modern economics. In How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, students and faithful alike will come to comprehend the Catholic Church's monumental impact on society and Western civilization as a whole.

But what is the ultimate source of these gifts? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic Church.

Western civilization has given us the miracles of modern science, the wealth of free-market economics, the security of the rule of law, a unique sense of human rights and freedom, charity as a virtue, splendid art and music, a philosophy grounded in reason, and innumerable other gifts that we take for granted as the wealthiest and most powerful civilization in history. 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.
