Saints and Sinners Reviews

"A minor masterpiece which is everything good, popular history ought to be... The most comprehensive single-volume history of the popes in print." John Adamson, Sunday Telegraph "Duffy enlivens the long march through church history with anecdotes that bring the different pontiffs to life... Saints and Sinners is a remarkable achievement." Piers Paul Read, The Times "The best one-volume history of the papacy ever written." T. F. X. Noble "A distinguished text... offering plenty of historical facts and sobering, valuable judgments." Henry Chadwick, New York Times Book Review "Will intrigue the faithful as well as the skeptical." Economist "A wonderful history of the popes... a book that will fascinate anyone wishing to better understand the history of the Catholic Church and the forces that have shaped the role of the papacy." Gloria J. Tysl, Christian Century
