Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For nearly two millennia the popes have not only shaped the course of one of the world's great religions, but have also played a part--sometimes a dominant one--in the history of Europe. This book examines the lives, deeds, and misdeeds of the 264 popes, from St. Peter to John Paul II. 300 illustrations, 100 in color.

Synopsis:

This title recounts the lives, deeds and misdeeds of the 264 popes from St Peter to John Paul II. The dichotomy between the awesome dignity of the holy office and the all-too-human passions and pleasures of some of the individuals who have occupied it characterizes the narrative.
