Since Pope Francis’ March 13 election, several biographies have hit the shelves. Matthew Bunson, one of America’s leading authorities on the papacy and the Church, introduces us to the new Pope by plunging deep into the life of the former Argentinean cardinal.

Bunson reveals how the Pope lived out his priestly ministry prior to the papal election. Pope Francis is still new to us, but Bunson introduces us to the “street priest” with a deep love for people and a pastor’s touch.
