Fr. Witt divides Church history into three sections:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/michaelwitt.kenrickparish.com\/earlych\/index.htm\">Early Church<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelwitt.kenrickparish.com\/medieval\/index.html\">Medieval<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelwitt.kenrickparish.com\/millennium\/index.htm\">Modern<\/a>. In each section there are MP3s of Fr. Witt and his co-host, Teresa, discussing each of these periods of history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I first discovered Fr. Witt&#8217;s site while I was living in London and, over the course of a year&#8217;s worth of journeys on public transport I managed listened to the\u00a0entirety\u00a0of the Early Church library. Hmmm&#8230;maybe it&#8217;s time to do that again&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wanted to get a better grasp of Early Church History, but not really known where to start?
