The Founding of Western Civilization (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025476995)

"The Founding of Western Civilization" is an illuminating exploration of the transformative centuries that shaped the modern world. Focusing on the period from the decline of the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages, historians G.C. Sellery and A.C. Krey provide a comprehensive analysis of the social, political, and cultural forces that defined European development. The work meticulously details the synthesis of Roman heritage, Christian doctrine, and Germanic traditions, illustrating how these disparate elements coalesced into a distinct Western identity.

The narrative spans critical historical milestones, including the rise of feudalism, the expansion of the Church's influence, and the intellectual awakenings that occurred within medieval universities. By examining the evolution of law, government, and artistic expression, the authors offer readers a profound understanding of the origins of contemporary institutions. "The Founding of Western Civilization" remains a vital text for students and history enthusiasts alike, offering a clear and authoritative window into the bedrock of the Western world's enduring legacy.
