John Paul was, famously, a bundle of paradoxes; he defied every attempt to put him in an ideological box, and he was equally bewildering to his admirers and his detractors.
Edward Stourton unravels John Paul`s life, his beliefs, his actions and ultimately places him in context within the Catholic Church of the 20th and 21st Century.
A wonderfully, insightful, involving and rewarding look at the life of a man who was not only one of the most important men of the last thirty years of the 20th century but who became, in his last days, a living symbol of the Christian response to suffering and an inspiration to billions.
