Pope Innocent III (1160/61–1216) : To Root Up and to Plant Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This book is a biography of Pope Innocent III. Avoiding the many scholarly controversies concerning the pope, it offers a concise and balanced portrait of the man and his pontificate.

Its chronological organization-unusual in biographies of Innocent-enables the reader to see how the pope was usually dealing with many different subjects at the same time, and that the events in one aspect of his life could influence his views of other topics.

This structure, together with the thorough documentation, can provide new insights even for scholars well-versed in his pontificate.

Written in clear, jargon-free English, the book also gives the students and general reader a good sense of this pope and of the medieval papacy.
