Unmaking the First Popes

Unmaking the First Popes

What if the papacy weren’t born, but built?

This provocative book explores the early centuries of Christianity as a world of scattered communities, shifting power, and competing voices. Instead of a clear line of leadership, it uncovers a slow transformation, where influence hardened into authority and history may have been rewritten to justify it.

Sharp, daring, and thought-provoking, Unmaking the First Popes challenges everything you think you know about the origins of power in the Church.
