This work surveys the history of the papal office from the first century to the present. With the dawn of a new millennium, the papacy remains a vital sign of unity in the Catholic church and a link with the earliest church. But the papal office in its current form is the product of a long and conflicted history of evolution. The Chair of Saint Peter is an essential resource for future discussions about the shape of the church to come.
William J. La Due has taught canon law at St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee and at Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
