Publisher's Synopsis
""The Victories of Rome and the Temporal Monarchy of the Church"" is a historical book written by Kenelm Digby Best in 1906. The book focuses on the influence of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church on the development of Western civilization. Best argues that the Roman Empire's military conquests and legal system laid the foundation for the rise of the Catholic Church as a dominant political and religious force in Europe. The book explores the various ways in which the Church used its power to shape the political and social landscape of Europe, including the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire and the Crusades. Best also examines the role of the Church in the Renaissance and the Reformation, as well as its ongoing influence in the modern world. Overall, ""The Victories of Rome and the Temporal Monarchy of the Church"" provides a comprehensive overview of the historical relationship between two of the most influential institutions in Western history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
