Description

This comprehensive history examines the papacy as the world's oldest elective office and traces how it has managed the Catholic Church across centuries. The study argues that the papacy has consistently adapted managerial models from the secular world to govern the Church, from its emergence within Jewish synagogues through persecution in the Roman Empire to becoming the established religion of the West. The book explores how the Church and papacy engaged with the world on its own terms, with particular attention to transformations following the Council of Trent. Readers gain insight into the complex voluntary association of faith and the institutional strategies that sustained papal leadership across historical periods.

Key Features

Lexington Books provides a scholarly examination of papal history spanning from early Christian origins through centuries of institutional development and adaptation.

The study traces the papacy's evolution from persecuted minority status within the Roman Empire to its position as the foundation of Western religious authority.

Explores how managerial and organisational models from secular governance were applied to administer the Catholic Church throughout its history.

Detailed analysis of the Council of Trent and its transformative impact on papal authority, Church structure, and leadership direction.

Comprehensive historical narrative examining the papacy as a complex voluntary association of faith and its engagement with broader world events.
