Brett Edward Whalen (Author)
This concise introduction offers an up-to-date survey of papal history from the 1st century through to the 16th. It explores the basis of the papacy's claim to authority over all Christians, and the unique role that the Roman Church and its papal leadership played in the historical development of medieval Europe
