The pope and cardinals framed the threat of evangelical Christianity as a peril not only to the Catholic Church but to the fascist government as well, recruiting some very powerful fascist officials to their cause. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This important book is the first full account of this dangerous alliance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Madigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030021586X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300215861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.37h x 6.46w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2022","brand":"Kevin Madigan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043208327423,"sku":"9780300215861","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d9a93b3-756c-4ba4-bde0-be7a7c6111fb.jpg?v=1684965853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-popes-against-the-protestants-kevin-madigan-9780300215861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
