Bookquest: Vatican City

10/22/2013 - The Vatican Book Shop


Lumen Fidei by Pope Francis

I picked up Pope Francis's first encyclical, Lumen Fidei in the Vatican Book Shop. I've been meaning to read it, and even though it's easily available online, this seemed like it would give me another push to read it.

The Vatican Book Shop has mostly prayer books and Bibles, as you'd probably expect. There is also a section for English-language art books and tour books. I was surprised why what wasn't there. Pope Benedict's book Jesus of Nazareth wasn't there, and there weren't any histories on the Catholic Church.
