Encountering Pope Leo XIV: Baptist Reflections on the Beginning of a Pontificate - Paperback

by Steven R. Harmon (Author)

Part journalistic narrative, part diaristic travelogue, and part extended theological rumination on the significance of the papacy for Baptists and other free church Christians, Encountering Pope Leo XIV takes readers along with the author on a journey to Rome to follow the College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church in their preparations for the conclave to elect the successor to Pope Francis, experience the conclave itself and the election of American Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV, observe the beginnings of Leo XIV's pontificate, and ponder its significance not only for Catholics but for all Christians.
