Showing results for "Peter" in Historical

A History of the Popes tells the story of the oldest living institution in the Western world—the papacy. From its origins in Saint Peter, Jesus' chief disciple, through Pope Benedict XVI today, the popes have been key players in virtually all of the great dramas of the western world in the last two thousand years. Acclaimed church historian John W. O'Malley's engaging narrative examines the 265 individuals who have claimed to be Peter's successors. Rather than describe each pope one by one, the book focuses on the popes that shaped pivotal moments in both church and world history.

Dieses Buch ist eine kompakte, faktenbasierte Reise durch die Frage, die seit Jahrhunderten Gläubige, Skeptiker und Historiker gleichermaßen beschäftigt: Gab es Jesus wirklich? Es kombiniert wissenschaftliche Präzision mit einem zugänglichen Stil und verzichtet bewusst auf überlange Ausschweifungen oder spekulative Mystik. Stattdessen konzentriert es sich auf das Wesentliche – die Spuren, die Jesus von Nazareth in der Geschichte, Kultur und dem Denken der Menschheit hinterlassen hat.
