Rome : A Guide to the Eternal City

Summary: A Pilgrim Guide to Christian Rome
Review: I found this book useful in my visit to the city of Rome. This is intended as a guide for the Christian faithful to the eternal city. The book is divided into five parts, namely: I. Rome, Civitas Domini, II. Rome, City of Martyrs and saints, III. Rome, Cult of the virgin, IV. Rome, City guarded by angels V. Rome, City of Popes and jubilees. This division, of course is arbitrary. The history of the Church in Rome is well portrayed through its significant works of art, monuments and churches. It contains very useful maps, illustrations and photographs. But as a reference book I found it rather hard to use.
