5.0 out of 5 stars A Female Pope?!?, 4 Aug 2001

By	tishdugan@aol.com (Philadelphia, PA, USA) - See all my reviews

Any book that deals with the topic of Pope Joan, the only female Pope, and does not do it with guffaws for comic relief, is a keeper in my library. It also includes a Pope whose four day papacy before his death, never gave him the time to be "sworn in"! Now that is a complete study. Feminism and curiosity aside, though, this is a valuable reference that is also enjoyable reading. My favorite attraction is that for each Pope, Kelly directs you to the best sources for more information on everyone of the Popes he has studied. As interesting groups of people go, it just doesn't get any more interesting than these guys!

5.0 out of 5 stars A quick guide to the Popes, 8 Sep 2007

By	Matthew Turner "loyalroyal" (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Oxford Dictionary of Popes (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)

This is an excellent little reference book on the Popes, benefiting greatly by being updated to include Benedict XVI.

This work presents each pope, and anti-pope, in chronological order, which enables the reader to have a continuous history of the papacy. Each pope or anti-pope is provided with a brief biography including birth and death dates, parentage, relationships to other popes or church luminaries, and their careers before and during (and sometimes after) their papacy. In some cases these biographies are surprisingly in-depth for such a work. At the end of each biography is a list of references which can be used to guide the interested reader to further reading on a particular pope or anti-pope.

The end appendix on the possibility, at least tradition, of a female pope is a good addition as well.

Handy to have on your bookshelf. Recommended
