Opus Dei Bibliography

1
Note from the WebMaster
There was a time when documented information in English regarding Opus Dei was in very short
supply. That is no longer the case. Here we have a book whose bibliography contains numerous other
books, many of which are in English, and most of which impact directly on this semi-secret multinational organization.
I am using this piece only to demonstrate this author's massive bibliography & to tell you that many of
the listed works, including Their Kingdom Come, are available in public libraries throughout the world.
I am, however, also including the Table of Contents so that you may have a better idea of the material
the author covers in this finely researched work.
Though the author is not Catholic, he draws on a large number of highly reliable Catholic sources to
provide a meaningful discussion of this organization. You will note that his bibliography contains
works both pro & con, assuring a balanced presentation.
