Summary: Excellent
Comment: This book is excellent. I don't know where to start. Often, we study history with respect to different countries, geographical areas, or religions. This book draws them all together. It provides insight into what these men were thinking, and the personal and political influences they had to deal with. Really interesting.

Summary: Top Notch Theological Resource
Comment: For the serious theologian, be it of the lay or ordained variety, this is a great resource.
Here, chronologically, the renowned historian Kelly provides insightful, concise historical background into the papacy.
One can be assured that his research is spotless, since his early church knowledge and expertise is renown. This is continued here.
Great to have the bibliographical resources for each entry, knowing that Kelly has sorted the possibilities out and provided valuable service in providing primary assets to investigate.
I'll be referring to mine often in historical research. Anyone who delves into this prominent area will want this valuable, economic resource in their library.

Summary: A Female Pope?!?
Comment: 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. He 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!
