Description
The 33 Doctors of the Church. Here are 33 chapters about the greatest minds and greatest Saints the Catholic Church has ever produced. Written in a down-to-earth style, The 33 Doctors of the Church is a book that will be loved and appreciated by everyone. This monumental study could easily become 33 small books. But here it is in one compelling volume! Includes St. Athanasius, the defender of the doctrine of Christ's divinity, who was banished 5 times from his diocese for fidelity to show more Catholic teaching. In a moment of weakness, Pope Liberius even signed his condemnation! Impr. 725 pgs, PB show lessTags
