Ive read some of Carroll’s stuff and it is certainly exhaustive. His 6 volume “A History of Christendom” is as comprehensive as you are likely to find. For a laymen they can be overkill, but there is a ton of information in his books. He was a Catholic so Im not sure why the “Catholicity” of his books would be questioned.I was hoping for some recommendations on a book series on the history of the Catholic Church. I want something more exhaustive than a one volume overview. I was reading reviews on Warren Carroll’s history of Christendom series and was concerned by a review that it is questionable in its history and Catholicity. Much thanks for any recommendations.
I recommend “The life of Jesus” by the french historian Ernest Renan, and antropologist who spent three years in the holy land researching it.

My recommendations include Philip Hughes’ three volume “History of the Church,” Joseph Epiphane Darras’ four volume “A General History of the Catholic Church,” and Mourret-Thompson’s eight volume “A History of the Catholic Church.”I was hoping for some recommendations on a book series on the history of the Catholic Church.
