The Hidden Pope tells the unlikely story of John Paul II and Jerzy Kluger, a Polish Jew who became one of the most important advisers to the pontiff. Kluger's unique perspective—his intimate knowledge of both the Catholic and Jewish religions—made him an essential part of the pope's inner circle.

As the two men became close, they discovered that they had much in common, including a deep love of the Polish people and a concern for the future of the Church. The Hidden Pope is the extraordinary tale of a friendship that changed the relationship between Catholics and Jews and foreshadowed the pontiff's later role as a global leader.; 8vo; 406 pages.
