The Middle Ages were dubbed the "Dark Ages" almost before they had begun to draw to a close. Ever since then, they have continued to be seen as a time of hardship and oppression, full of popes and crusades. In the second volume of 2,000 Years of Christ's Power, another side of the Middle Ages shines through though: The continual workings of Christ as he built his kingdom through figures such as Thomas a Kempis and John Wycliffe, who lived and struggled during these centuries. This was far from a period of stagnation; rather it was the fire from which the Reformation was kindled.

In this magisterial history, Raymond Ibrahim chronicles the long and brutal conflict between Islam and the West through the eyes and lives of Christendom’s original commando forces: the knights of the Temple and Hospital.

In June 1942, 750 German soldiers surrounded a cathedral in Prague. Inside, seven young paratroopers were barricaded in a stone crypt. They had done the unthinkable: assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, the Hangman of Prague, the man who ran the Nazi terror apparatus and presided over the planning of the Holocaust. The Third Reich wanted them alive. They would not be taken alive.

The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), or Vatican II, is arguably the most significant event in the life of the Catholic Church since the Reformation. The Council initiated, intentionally or not, profound changes not simply within Catholic theology, but in the religious, social, and moral lives of the world's billion Catholics. It also reconfigured, intellectually and practically, the Church's engagements with those outside of it—most obviously with regard to other religions.

Молот ведьм — печально известное "руководство для охотников на ведьм", написанное монахом Генрихом Крамером и деканом Кельнского университета Якобом Шпренгером.
