Book Reviews of Saints and Sinners: A History of the Popes; Third Edition (Yale Nota Bene)
Book Review: Excellent resource
Summary: 5 Stars
With "Saints and Sinners", Duffy provides a beautiful, well-written, anecdote-rich account of the papacy. I originally approached this book when I needed some information on Pius IX, but the quality of the section covering his pontificate meant I just couldn't resist reading the rest of the book. The text is lively, witty and engaging; the pictures accompanying it well-selected and wonderful to look at. For anyone interested in learning more about one of the oldest institutions on earth, this book is highly recommended.
