A Time of Decision

The very first decision a new pope makes is what name he will use in his papacy, and it sets the tone for his time as pope.

It’s a statement about who he is and how he intends to govern the Catholic Church.

But few people know the history of pope names and the reasons popes choose them.

In this ground-breaking, one-of-a-kind work, best-selling author Jimmy Akin looks at this unexplored subject and uncovers surprising revelations.

He looks at:

You’ll learn the facts that influence the name that the next pope will choose, including:

What did the last several popes say about why they picked the names they did?
What patterns exist in the history of pope names that the popes themselves may not be aware of?
Why do popes almost never pick the name of their immediate successor?
What is the one name that the next pope will definitely not pick, no matter what?
What names will be on the “short list” that the next pope considers, and what are the odds he will pick a particular name?

Here are some of the fascinating things you will learn in Pope Names:

What are the 81 names that have been used in history? (there are only 81 names, though there have been 265 popes).
When did the popes start choosing new names for themselves?
Who was the first pope to choose a new name?
What is the most popular pope name of all time?
What names have been used only once?
Why do popes sometimes feel the need to “shake up” the pool of pope names?
What are the signs that we are living in a “shake up” period right now?
Which pope selected the first new name in 1,000 years?
Who is the only pope to have been called “the First” during his reign?
Who was the last pope to reign under his own name?
Which pope had his new name picked for him?
What pope was named after a pagan god?
What man actually served as pope three times?
