L’incroyable histoire de l'Eglise #[nn]

From Olivier Bobineau and Pascal Magnat comes this sweeping graphic exploration of the history of the Church, published by Les Arènes BD. The cover sets the tone beautifully, presenting a warm, lightly sketched illustration of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome — its great golden dome, colonnaded façade, and the towering obelisk topped with a cross all rendered in an approachable, humanizing style, with a lone figure gazing up at the grandeur before him. Press quotes on the cover promise a synthesis that balances genuine scholarship with humor and timely wit, making this a compelling pick for anyone curious about one of history's most enduring institutions.
