Without Roots: The West, Relativism, Christianity, Islam

Without Roots: The West, Relativism, Christianity, Islam Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bringing together their unique vantage points as leaders of Church and State, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Marcello Pera challenge us to imagine what can be the future of a civilization that has abandoned its moral and cultural history. They call on the West to embrace a spiritual rather than political renewal -and to accept the moral values that alone can help us to make sense of changes in technology, economics, and society.

Synopsis:

Newly elected Pope Benedict XVI joins Pera, the president of the Italian senate, to offer a provocative critique of the spiritual, cultural, and political crisis that has afflicted the West.

About the Author

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under the late Pope John Paul II, and has long been regarded as one of the most profound Catholic theological and spiritual writers of our times. His numerous books include God and the World, Introduction to Christianity, Salt of the Earth, and The Spirit of Liturgy. Marcello Pera, a professor of the philosophy of science at the University of Pisa, is also President of the Italian Senate. He lives in Italy.
