Arthur J Lenti publishes Don Bosco: his pope and his Bishop
(from Boscolink)

ROME: 10th June 2006 -- Today the LAS publishing house in Rome released a new volume by Arthur J. Lenti entitled DON BOSCO: HIS POPE AND HIS BISHOP.
    The study follows in detail the controversy between the archbishops of Turin and St John Bosco during the years in which he founded and sought the approval of the Holy See for the Salesian Society. Carefully researched and meticulously documented, the book brings the period of the 1860s to 1880s alive, and presents English-speaking readers with a behind the scenes account of the most difficult period in the life of St John Bosco.
    Fr Arthur Lenti, who has published many articles on Don Bosco and Salesian topics in the JOURNAL OF SALESIAN STUDIES and in the RICERCHE STORICHE SALESIANE, has degrees in Scripture, Systematic and Spiritual Theology. After over 20 years of teaching Scripture in Aptos, Alma, and at the Josephinum, Fr Lenti came to Don Bosco Hall in Berkeley in 1975. Since 1984, he has been the lead instructor at the Institute of Salesian Spirituality in Berkeley (an affliate of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, member school of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley).
    More of Fr Lenti writings are "in the works", and will be published in the coming months. These will present a panorama of the life and works of St John Bosco as founder and builder of the Salesian Family. These books are based on 22 years of research and teaching at the Institute of Salesian Spirituality.
    DON BOSCO: HIS POPE AND HIS BISHOP is 252 pages in length; ISBN: 88-213-0612-7. It sells for 15 Euros.
