De Chirico's book is excellent. Not only is it well researched, thorough, and clear, its lessons hold crucial importance in this historical moment. In a day when the pope is featured on the cover of Time magazine and when unchurched pundits use phrases like "the Francis factor" (speaking of Pope Francis's popularity in the mainstream), it's important for us to have an informed perspective on the papacy. This volume, more than any other I've read, provides such perspective and therefore should be added to one's bookshelf.

How readable! How fascinating! How important! This book is a page-turner. I kept thinking, "I have it, to whom can I give it?"...Right at the heart of Roman Catholicism there is this giant delusion. You don't believe me? Then read this fascinating and brief book and think for yourself.
Geoff Thomas(Conference Speaker and author
In terms of an introduction to the Catholic Church's doctrine and exercise of the papacy, this book is unmatched! Read this book and you will gain essential insights into what for many Christians is a mystery, now unpacked by a trusted evangelical theologian and pastor.
Gregg R. Allison(Professor of Christian Theology
...Professor De Chirico investigate the phenomenon of Roman Catholic hierarchy using biblical exegesis, fascinating historical data, and basic theological insights to inform our view...engaging, clearly written, polemical in the best sense, and resolutely Scriptural, this is easily the best shorter guide for those wanting to know how to evaluate the institution of the papacy and related matters.
