by George Weigel
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
This definitive biography of Pope John Paul II explores his historic influence on the world stage: "Magnificent. A tremendous achievement" (Washington Post).
As head of the Catholic Church from 1978 until his death in 2005, John Paul II was one of the world's most transformational figures. With unprecedented cooperation from the Pope, as well as the people who knew and worked with him throughout his life, George Weigel offers a groundbreaking portrait of him as a man, a thinker, and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach to world politics—and changed the course of history.
The Pope played a crucial yet underexplored role in some of the most momentous events of his time, including the collapse of European communism, the quest for peace in the Middle East, and the democratic transformation of Latin America. With an updated preface, this edition of Witness to Hope explains how this "man from a far country" did all of that, and much more—and what both his accomplishments and the unfinished business of his pontificate mean for the future of the Church and the world.
