Book Reviews of Fabiola, or the Church of the Catacombs (Reprint of 1854 publication in the Popular Catholic Library series)
Book Review: Glorious book on the life of early Christians
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for those who would like to know more about the customs and way of life of early Christians who lived under persecution, or the "Church of the Catacombs." The book is all the more exciting because it is based on real life events from the lives of some of the most glorious saints of the early church. What is amazing is that this book was written in the spare time Cardinal Wiseman had available to write - from a man whose duty was not to compose novels but to take care of his flock, but reading the book one would think that it was written by a full time author. True, the book is not as finely written as "Quo Vadis" by Henryk Sienkievicz - the other great novel on early Christians - but the simplicity and directness of the writing is still charming and beautiful. And, like all great novels, it not only delivers a great plot - one day I read 200 pages in one sitting - it also provides profound insights into human nature and frailty, and has important lessons for everyone in humility. In this regard, the book can serve as a pedagogical tool for parents wishing to inculcate Christian virtues into their younger children.
