Never has a Pope, in a booklength interview, dealt so directly with such wideranging and controversial issues as Pope Benedict XVI does in Light of the World. Taken from a recent weeklong series of interviews with veteran journalist Peter Seewald, this book tackles headon some of the greatest issues facing the world of our time. Twice before these two men held wideranging discussions, which became the bestselling 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 thoughtprovoking replies. This is no stern preachment or ponderous theological tract, but a lively, fastpaced, challenging, even entertaining exchange.
