By Henri Daniel-Rops (NB: Product contains two individual volumes.) The Church of the Revolutionary Age: Facing New Destinies is the eighth installment in Henri Daniel-Rops’ History of the Church of Christ.  Vol­ume 1 focuses on the momentous political events of the age: (1) The French Revolution and its effects on the Church and influence across Europe in developing radical ideals and parties. (2) The bitter struggle for sovereignty between “sword and spirit” in the Napoleonic era, culminating in the kidnapping of Pope Pius VII. (3) The perilous effort to rebuild and restore society amid the ruinous aftermath of that conflict—a drama of concordats and counter-revolution; of restoration of religion and regimes of uneasy alliance between Throne and Altar; of emancipation and rebellion; with the voices of geniuses like de Maistre and Lamennais, Chateaubriand and Consalvi, Pope Gregory XVI and O’Connell, dictating and defying, in turn, the flow of the revolutionary currents.  Volume 2 foc
