More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This fascinating dictionary gives concise accounts of every officially recognized pope in history, from St Peter to Pope Benedict XVI, as well as all of their irregularly elected rivals, the so-called antipopes. Each pope and antipope's entry covers his family and social background and pre-papal career as well as his activities in office. Also, an appendix provides a detailed discussion and analysis of the tradition that there has been a female pope. This new edition reflects the very latest in papal research and contains additional information in the further reading sections of each entry, making the book an even more useful starting place for research into specific pontiffs. The entries are arranged chronologically making this a continuous history of the papacy over almost 2,000 years. It reveals how, for much of that history, spiritual and temporal power have been inextricably mingled in the person of the pope. A fascinating read for students of theology and history, as well as the general reader with an interest in Christian history.

Full of the Classic Catholic Dogma, line of Decent...
29 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good reference,
but is classic St. Peter did this and St. Peter said that. How can anyone know what Simon did or said? Why did Jesus change his name? The Holy Bible says Peter was an "unlearned man" and "married." REF, "Acts 4" Some popes had children too. I like truth... The author does discuss the many "Anti-popes," which is why I purchased the book.
