The interlibrary loan staff at Gordon College, and especially Lori Franz, deserve divine blessing for their many labors on my behalf. Likewise, my former, highly competent and long-suffering staff members at Gordon’s Center for Faith and Inquiry deserve my heartfelt gratitude; these include RyanGroff,DebbieDrost,SusanneMcCarron,andVictoriaQuay.Severalof our student aides and “apprentices” at the Center also lent a hand along the way, so a robust thanks to Elizabeth (Libby) Baker, Katharine Stephens, Matthew Reese, Hilary (Sherratt) Yancey, and Mary Hierholzer. Not least, the blessedly meticulous Elspeth Currie did a remarkable job in helping me secureimagesandpermissionsandcompletethebibliography. Aspects of this book call attention to the history of the Papal States in central Italy. Some ideas for the book were hatched during stays at Gordon College’s study-abroad program in Orvieto, Italy (once part of the Papal States), directed by John Skillen and Matthew Doll.
