Francis: Pope of Good Promise: From Argentina’s Bergoglio to the World’s Francis - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
From the moment Pope Francis stepped on to the balcony of St Peter's Basilica for the first time, a global audience sensed that not only the Catholic Church but the world at large could be entering a new spiritual, political and social age.
In the days following Pope Francis' election, there would be further early signs of the simplicity worthy of the first apostles and the leader that inspired them. Not since John XIII appeared on the scene half a century earlier had a new Pope opened the windows of the Church in such a way as to let in some much needed fresh air. Nevertheless, for the excitement generated by the first Latin American Pope and a man who claimed to want to put the poor back at the centre of the Church's social teaching, people could still only guess where it might be all be leading.
Francis: Pope of Good Promise is neither an instant media job, nor a hagiography based on authorised interviews, but the product of diligent investigation across a wide range of official and independent sources - a measured, objective portrait of a man who, in circumstances that he neither sought nor foresaw, found himself handed the highest office at a time of crisis not just for the Church but for long established institutions worldwide from banks to political parties.

Cloth. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Francis. Pope of Good Promise. From Argentina's Bergoglio to the World's Francis. . A Personal Journey. Tiny mark to edge. Pope Francis is a far more complex man than early biographies have suggested. He is no picture-book saint but a very human priest, one wracked by doubt, who struggled to be a true witness of his faith. In circumstances he neither sought nor foresaw, Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio was handed the highest office of a time of institutional crisis. In his ground-breaking biography, the author examines Bergoglio's childhood and formation as a priest, and the extent to which both his religious orthodocy and social conscience were forged against the dramatic backdrop of Argentina's turbulent politics. The author also assesses the extent to which Bergoglio's social conscience was influenced by the legacy of the country's controversial populist President General Peron and his wife Evita, and questions his moral standing during the argentine military junta's 'Dirty War', when thousands disappeared before being tortured and killed and when he stood accused of not having done enought on behalf of the victims, including his fellow Jesuit priests. Illustrated. 432 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
