The Hidden Pope: The Untold Story of a Lifelong Friendship That Is Changing the Relationship Between Catholics and Jews
John Paul II has made greater strides toward understanding and atoning for Rome's complicity in anti-Semitism than any other pope in history.The Hidden Popeshows how and why this rapprochement is taking place by telling the story of John Paul's lifelong friendship with Jerzy Kluger, a Polish Jew. The text is a fascinating and detailed depiction of John Paul's personal life, but  the book's real significance lies in its frank demonstration of the way Karol Wojtyla brings his personal experience to bear on the eternal truths of Catholic theology.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
