Basilica: The Splendor and the Scandal: Building St. Peter's
from Viking Adult
Price: $15.38

Customer Review:

Others have pointed out the errors in this book better than I could ... I don't much about building materials and achitecture.
I enjoyed reading this book because of the number of larger than life personalities involved in the construction of St. Peter's: from popes like Julius III and the... more info

Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Many of the stories are things I have heard before, but woven seemlessly into an insightful narrative. King's assessment of Michelangelo's ceiling and its radical importance in pictorial history is correct in its context and amplitude; my knowledge thereby... more info

Inside the Vatican (National Geographic)
from National Geographic
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:

I bought the book because I am interested in Italian Renaissance art. In this aspect it is a little bit disappointing. There should be far more interesting art objects than is covered. It was very nice to read about the history of the Vatican, to get a feeling for every day life in the Vatican. The... more info

Vatican Council II: Constitutions, Decrees, Declarations (Vatican Council II) (Vatican Council II) (Vatican Council II)
from Costello Pub Co
Price: $14.25

Customer Review:

Along the lines of another reviewer, I wonder how many who talk of the "spirit of Vatican II" have actually read the "documents of Vatican II." Read these documents, so "we won't get fooled again"!

Vatican II: Renewal within Tradition
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $26.95

Customer Review:

Matthew Lamb and Matthew Levering have assembled a remarkable group of contributors to this landmark volume on the documents of Vatican II. The scholarship represented here comes from Africa, Europe, and all corners of North America. Truly a book indicative of the universal Church, and most... more info

The Essential Epicurus: Letters, Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, and Fragments (Great Books in Philosophy)
from Prometheus Books
Price: $8.00

Customer Review:

A disappointment. At first, I really liked his 'No pain' theorem, but after reading this book (which wasn't so greatly organized or collaborated), I discovered that, yes, perhaps he was looked down on by other Europeans because he elaborated on rather communist ideals. Personally, I like a few of... more info

Unholy Trinity: How the Vatican's Nazi Networks Betrayed Western Intelligence to the Soviets
from St Martins Pr

Customer Review:

Although the title (and the cover) are deceptive, this is an attempt to unravel the motives behind the creation of the Rat Line, a scheme to spirit Nazi war criminals through Genoa to South America. It is at times frustrating,
for the profusion of characters, their motivations and eventual... more info

A Special Mission: Hitler's Secret Plot to Seize the Vatican and Kidnap Pope Pius XII
from Da Capo Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:

I'm a bit skeptical about books which portray Pope Pius XII as a thorn in the side of Hitler, but it's certainly possible that regardless of Pius's now-embarrassing neutrality, Hitler might have decided to kidnap him just to be on the safe side. However, there seems to be little evidence for this... more info

The Vatican to Vegas: The History of Special Effects
from New Press
Price: $21.80

Customer Review:

I am shocked at the ignorance of the last reviewer. Norman Klein is one of the finest literary stylists in the English-speaking world. He is a novelist as well as a critic. I have followed his work carefully for many years. Probably no one but he could have delivered this level of scholarship in the... more info

Vatican II: The Crisis and the Promise
from Servant Publications
Price: $14.27

Customer Review:

Peter Henriot once described Catholic social teaching as "our best kept secret." The same can be said about Vatican II. Lots of things have been claimed in the "spirit" of the Council, but what the Council actually said remains, in many ways, "our best kept secret."
Alan Schreck, professor of... more info
