Christianity in the history of Poland and the Poles - Waldemar Paruch - książka wyd. 2018

Opis

The work traces the story from the Christianisation of Poland in 966, through the formation of the Polish state, medieval and early modern religious life, the Reformation and Counter‑Reformation, the partitions, the rebirth of the state in 1918, the challenges of the 20th century, and the post‑1989 transformation. It highlights how Christianity influenced political institutions, education, art, and social norms, and how the Church often acted as a guardian of national identity during periods of foreign domination.
