About the book

Eamon Duffy's Saints and Sinners traces the history of the papacy from the early Christian Church to its place in the modern world. Through the lives of individual popes, he explores how spiritual leadership became intertwined with political power, diplomacy and conflict. Reformers, scholars and ambitious rulers appear alongside figures associated with corruption and scandal. Duffy connects the personalities of the pontiffs with the changing institutions around them, creating a history of religious ideals, human failings and the papacy's lasting influence on Christianity and European society.
