Following his series of Catecheses on the Apostles and major figures of the primitive Church, Benedict XVI turns all his knowledge and insight to the preachers, writers, homilists and theologians of the next five centuries. The lives and contributions to Catholic life and thought of great figures such as St Augustine of Hippo, Origen and St John Chrysostom are described and explored in accessible language and with a great love and enthusiasm. This book will encourage readers to get to know and appreciate the founding figures of Christianity and their ever-fresh and challenging teachings.
Christ and His Church
Pope Benedict brings all his culture and learning to bear on this most important period of the Church’s 2000 years. A time in which Jesus set the Church’s eternal agenda and in which giants of the faith like St Peter and St Paul set the tone for the centuries to come. Benedict’s insights into the significance of each apostle and the essential importance of St Paul’s writings are as always both easy to understand and extraordinarily profound.
