Thomas More: Why Patron of Statesmen? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498522281)

The year 2015 marks the 15th anniversary of St. Pope John Paul II's promulgation of Thomas More as Patron Saint of Statesmen and Politicians. Yet during these years no serious answer has been given by a community of scholars as to why More was named such. What were More's guiding principles of leadership and in what ways might they remain applicable? This collection of essays addresses these questions by investigating More through his writings, his political actions, and in recent artistic depictions.
