Product Description
Never has a Pope, in a book-length interview, dealt so directly with such wide-ranging and controversial issues as Pope Benedict XVI does in Light of the World. Taken from a recent week-long series of interviews with veteran journalist Peter Seewald, this book tackles head-on some of the greatest issues facing the world of our time. Twice before these two men held wide-ranging discussions, which became the best-selling books Salt of the Earth and God and the World. Then, Seewald's discussion partner was Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's chief doctrinal office. Now, Joseph Ratzinger is Pope Benedict XVI, the spiritual leader of the world's over one billion Catholics. Though Seewald now interviews the Pope himself, the journalist "pulls no punches", posing some of the thorniest questions any Pope has had to address. Believers and unbelievers will be fascinated to hear Benedict's thoughtful, straightforward and thought-provoking replies. This is no stern preachment or ponderous theological tract, but a lively, fast-paced, challenging, even entertaining exchange.

This review is from: Light Of The World: The Pope, The Church and The Signs Of The Times (Hardcover)
This interview with Pope Benedict XVI, while still rigorously theological and steeped with biblical and contemporary social knowledge, remains accessible to everyday readers. With a global and historic perspective, the Pope takes a pastoral approach touching upon the complex issues that face the modern world. It is an awesome read!

Luminous and Accessible,
This review is from: Light Of The World: The Pope, The Church and The Signs Of The Times (Hardcover)
An excellent and heartening MUST READ for all modern Catholics. Indeed, Christians of all denominations will be impressed by this very accessible question and answer format. Peter Seewald does not pull any punches in his questioning, nor does Pope Benedict XVI waffle on any of his responses. Any who wondered about Joseph Ratzinger's ability to fill some very large shoes or doubted that he is indeed the man for the hour, will be completely reassured and encouraged by his wisdom, knowledge, and intellect; and buoyed up, in the very dark times in which we find ourselves, by his personal warmth and resounding faith in the Grace of God and the Love of Jesus Christ. Masterfully written for a general audience: mature teens to adults.

This is an amazing book. It's as though you were having a conversation with Pope Benedict,with him answering all the questions you ever wanted to ask. It is so easy to read,and so honest. I feel as though I got to know him personally while reading it. Every catholic should have one.
