Blessed Gennaro Maria Sarnelli (1702-1744), the newest “Blessed” of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, has traditionally been considered the “twin brother” of Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Both were born in Naples, trained as lawyers, and had a deep concern for the common people.

This nine-chapter biography, with an introduction and an epilogue by the author, is illustrated with photographs and includes a listing of Blessed Gennaros operas. Blessed Gennaro Mario Sarnelli is a must for every Redemptorist library and will appeal as well to historians and general readers interested in social justice and ministry to the poor.
