This book is an accessible, informative, and captivating history of the highest office in the Catholic Church. An excellent resource for readers of disparate religious beliefs or no beliefs at all, this well researched chronicle shows the massive impact the papacy has had on world history in an engaging, stimulating way.

Though technically a re-read, this book is still a masterpiece and every bit as scary and unsettling as it was when I read it as a kid.
