Upholding the notion of religious truth while asserting the right of religious freedom, Cardinal Ratzinger outlines the timeless teaching of the Magisterium in language that resonates with our embattled culture.

In this remarkable elucidation of the Apostles" Creed, Cardinal Ratzinger give an excellent, modern interpretation the foundations of Christianity. These reflections will challenge and expand one's knowledge of the Catholic faith.

In this momentous work, the Pope seeks to salvage the view of Jesus' depiction and to restore Jesus' true identity as discovered in the Gospels. See A Study Guide for Jesus of Nazareth.

This is an easy to use companion book. The goal is not to replace Pope Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth book but to make it more accessible, more fruitful for the average reader -- whether lay, religious or cleric. See the book of same name.

Jesus’ life and message is a story for today, one that speaks to the restlessness of the human heart searching for the sole truth which alone leads to profound joy. The Pope focuses exclusively on the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life as a child.

Today's culture is increasingly hostile and suspicious toward anyone who appears to be different--especially when tragedy strikes. But deep within the heart of Benedictine spirituality lays a remedy to hatred, fear, and suspicion: hospitality.
