The Oxford Dictionary of Popes

304 entries

This acclaimed papal Who's Who presents biographical accounts in chronological order of all the officially recognized popes from St Peter to Pope Benedict XVI. This edition has a new expanded entry on John Paul II. Providing a continuous history of the papacy, it also includes all the irregularly elected ‘antipopes’ and discusses the tradition that there had been a female pope.

A fascinating read for students of theology and history, as well as the general reader with an interest in Christian history.
