Joseph Martos

Lay Spirituality

Theology

“Hegy explains why Vatican II failed to renew the Catholic Church, which has been on the decline since the 1970s. The bishops thought they could lead the way, but top-down authoritarianism does not work in a postmodern pluralistic society. Spirituality has replaced doctrine as the driving force in religion today.”

The Rome of Peter and Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The author draws on his intimate knowledge of ancient Rome from having taught summer courses in the city for many years. Blending information from many sources into a continuous narrative, he compares biblical, medieval, and scientific material for a many-layered treatment of names, places, and dates. A perfect remembrance of Catholic Rome for students and other serious travelers, it is a book to read twice—once before traveling to Rome, and again in Rome itself.”
