Benedict of Bavaria: An intimate portrait of the Pope and his homeland
Circle Press, 2008. 240 pages, $24.95 hardcover

Highlighting a little-known personal side of the Holy Father, Benedict of Bavaria places him in the context of his homeland. Explore the extraordinary brilliance of Pope Benedict’s mind and the universality of his vocation within the context of his identity as a simple son of his beloved homeland. Pursell based his research on primary sources — interviews, personal testimonies, articles and books about the Pope written by the people who grew up, studied and worked with him.
