Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Debates over the legacy of Pope Pius XII and his canonization are so heated they are known as the ¿Pius wars.¿ Soldier of Christ moves beyond competing caricatures and considers Pius XII as Eugenio Pacelli, a flawed and gifted man. While offering insight into the pope¿s response to Nazism, Robert A. Ventresca argues that it was the Cold War and Pius XII¿s manner of engaging with the modern world that defined his pontificate.Laying the groundwork for the pope¿s controversial, contradictory actions from 1939 to 1958, Ventresca begins with the story of Pacelli¿s Roman upbringing, his intellectual formation in Rome¿s seminaries, and his interwar experience as papal diplomat and Vatican secretary of state. Accused of moral equivocation during the Holocaust, Pius XII later fought the spread of Communism in Western Europe, spoke against the persecution of Catholics in Eastern Europe and Asia, and tackled a range of social and political issues. By appointing the first indigenous cardinals from China and India and expanding missions in Africa while expressing solidarity with independence movements, he internationalized the church¿s membership and moved Catholicism beyond the colonial mentality of previous eras.Drawing from a diversity of international sources, including unexplored documentation from the Vatican, Ventresca reveals a paradoxical figure: a prophetic reformer of limited vision whose leadership both stimulated the emergence of a global Catholicism and sowed doubt and dissension among some of the church¿s most faithful servants.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Like New. Like New. First Edition. Gilt lettered hardback complete with dustjacket. Showing well: firm and square, strong joints, sharp corners. Contents crisp, tight and fresh, just showing a publisher's damaged stamp to the rear of the title-page. Despite such, this book is totally undamaged. Indeed it looks and feels unread. Volume 2 of a three volume set. Engages with the centrality of the popes within the Catholic Church and the claim of papal authority as it was exercised through the institution's various governing instruments. Addressing the history of the papacy in the longue durée, it highlights developments and the differences between the first and second millennium of the papacy. The chapters bring nuance to older historiographical models of papal supremacy, focusing on how apostolic primacy was contested and re-negotiated, and how the contours of power relationships shifted between center and periphery. The volume draws attention to questions about papal supremacy across time, place, and transnational lines; the function of law in the exercise of papal authority; the governance of the church in the form of the Curia, synods, and regional and ecumenical councils; the governance of the Papal States; the management of finances and church-state relations; and the relationship between papal temporal and spiritual authority.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Historically, the papacy has had - and continues to have - significant and sustained influence on society and culture. In the contemporary world, this influence is felt far afield from the traditional geographic and cultural center of papal authority in western Europe, notably in the Global South. Volume 3 frames questions around the papacy's cultural influence, focusing on the influence that successive popes and various vectors of papal authority have had on a broad range of social and cultural developments in European and global societies. The range of topics covered here reflects the vast and expanding scope of papal influence on everything from architecture to the construction and contestation of gender norms to questions of papal fashion. That influence has waxed and waned over time as successive popes have had access to greater resources and have had stronger imperatives to use their powers of patronage and regulation to intervene in society at large. …
