  Jesus De Nazaret – (Spanish)

  $23.00

  The Pope maintains that while the scholarship of the last century that has focused on the “historical” Jesus has offered many insights, it has also diverged in ways that were misinformed. He resolutely maintains that reason and faith are not contradictory: that gospels can be trusted.

  Without Roots : The West Relativism Christianity Islam

  $17.99

  Can a civilization exist without any sense of the sacred? That is the question at the heart of Without Roots, which was born of a dialogue between Joseph Ratzinger-now Pope Benedict XVI-and Marcello Pera, president of the Italian Senate.

  On May 13, 2004, Cardinal Ratzinger addressed the Italian senate on the state of the West. The day before, Marcello Pera gave a lecture at the Latern Pontifical University. Though the juxtaposition of the talks was pure chance, the two leaders arrived at strikingly similar conclusions about the spiritual, cultural, and political crisis facing the West. Now Without Roots takes on even more importance as a window into the mind of the Pope, who, as George Weigel explains in his forward to the American edition, “was elected in part, because of his long experience with, and profound understanding of, the current crisis in European civilization”.

  Bringing together their unique vantage points as leaders of Church and State, Ratzinger and Pera challenge us to examine anew the fate of a civilization that has abandoned its spiritual roots. The question is urgent not only for the United States and Europe but for all democratic cultures.

  CARDINAL JOSEPH RATZINGER
  SALT OF THE EARTH: The Church at the End of the Millennium
  An Interview with Peter Seewald

  Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, well-known Vatican prelate and head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
  Faith, gives a full-length interview to a secular journalist on a host of controversial and difficult issues
  facing Catholicism and Christianity at the end of the Millennium. He responds with candor and insight,
  giving answers that are often surprising and always thought-provoking on a series of wide-ranging topics
  regarding the present and future state of Christianity.

  Ratzinger begins by discussing his own life, including his family life, seminary studies, being a theology
  professor and writer, becoming a Bishop, Cardinal, and the Pope’s top authority on doctrine as head of the
  CDF. He then discusses the problems of the Catholic Church today, answering tough questions about the
  Church’s position on divorce, celibacy, contraception, abortion, women’s ordination, ecumenism, etc., and
  talks about the challenges and hopes of the future of the Church and the world at the beginning of the Third
  Millennium.

  This is a rare and powerful in-depth interview of a renowned theologian and high ranking Vatican official on
  issues of critical importance for the Church and Christianity at the end of an age.
