Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli, 1876-1958) was one of the most prominent personalities of the Catholic Church in the 20th century. Under the sponsorship of Archbishop Reinhard Cardinal Marx, a highly acclaimed Series of lectures was held in 2009, whose individual contributions are now made available to a wider reading public. Leading scholars address a wide range of important topics, including: "Pius XII and Modernity," "Pius XII and the Jews," "Pius XII and Michael Cardinal von Faulhaber," and "Pius XII in the Judgment of Posterity." Eugenio Pacelli - Pius XII (1876-1958): In the View of Scholarship provides an overview of the most current research on this important but also controversial pope. This volume makes that significant new scholarship available to English readers.
