If anyone has an interest in the history of the Catholic Church, I highly recommend Triumph:The Power & the Glory of the Catholic Church by H.W. Crocker III.
It's basically a 2000 year history of the Church. I'm only about 1/3 through it, but one of the things I have found quite interesting is the different heretical teachings that the Church had to deal with in it's first 300 years.
It's a very well written book, not at all dry reading. DR
