Additional Reading

José Luis González and Thomas Perez, Paul VI trans. from Spanish (1964), is a biography essential to an understanding of the man; substantial extracts from his discourses and other public pronouncements are included. James F. Andrews (ed.), Paul VI: Critical Appraisals (1970), is a collection of essays, some strongly disapproving of Paul’s position on controversial issues. A more balanced view of his pontificate is presented by Peter Hebblethwaite, The Year of Three Popes (1979), and Paul VI: The First Modern Pope (1993).
