Title: Faith and Future Author: Joseph Ratzinger ISBN: 1586172190 Price: 14.95 Publisher: Ignatius Publication Date: 30-Mar-09 Format: Pages: 118 Description: It is precisely in times of vehement historical upheaval, when all the past seems to dissolve and completely new things seem to emerge, that men need to reflect upon history, which enables them to see the unreal exaggeration of the moment in the right perspective and integrates them again into a happening that never repeats itself but, on the other hand, never loses its unity and its context. You might say: "Have we heard correctly; reflection upon history? That means looking back into the past, and we were expecting a glimpse into the future.' You have heard correctly: but I maintain that reflection upon history properly understood, embraces both looking back into the past and, with that as the starting point, reflecting on the possibilities and tasks of the future, which can only become clear if we survey a fairly long stretch of the road and do not naively shut More... |

Title: God is Near Us Author: Joseph Ratzinger ISBN: 0898709628 Price: 12.95 Publisher: Ignatius Publication Date: Sep-03 Format: Pages: 152 Description: In this felicitously unified collection of lectures, pastoral letters and homilies, Cardinal Ratzinger presents aspects of the revealed truth that is central to the Gospel. He writes as a theologian with the heart and experience of a pastor, giving an exposition of faith in the presence of God as divine self-communication in the Church and, supremely, in the Eucharist.

Title: Gospel, Catechesis, Catechism Author: Joseph Ratzinger ISBN: 0898706335 Price: 9.95 Publisher: Ignatius Publication Date: Sep-97 Format: Paperback Pages: 101 Description: Cardinal Ratzinger has produced a small and worthwhile book consisting of short lectures and articles presenting his insight into the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In the preface, he notes with satisfaction that the Catechism has been enthusiastically adopted by the Christian public although some establishment academics hold it askance. In this book, he assists those eager to embrace the Catechism with his accessible commentary on various aspects of the Catechism. In my view, the most significant chapter deals with the "biblical realism" of the Catechism which treats the Jesus of the Gospels as the real Jesus, in contrast to the absurd reconstructions of idle professors who peddle their fictions as the so-called "historical Jesus." He also has a chapter on the relation of Judaism and Christianity which is in welcome contrast to the recent defective and mediocre reflection on the issue by a group associated with the U.S. Bishops' More... |

The homilies were given on various occasions and throughout the World, as can be gleaned from a few of his remarks in them. But the message contained in all of them is universal and timeless. His homilies are always a pleasure to read, and an inspiring and uplifting reading material. The theme in all of the homilies contained here is either the eucharist or some other aspect of liturgy.
