Joseph Ratzinger, a.k.a. Pope Benedict XVI, is one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century. This recognition has come to him from Christian theologians of many denominations. His "Jesus of Nazareth" books, in this collection, are incredible - a very thoughtful analysis of the historical Jesus who we know through scripture. Introduction to Christianity is a book that IMHO rivals Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. His footnotes and bibliography transcends all Christian denominations. This is a collection any serious student of Jesus Christ could learn much from!!!

Sorry.. not interested in this one.
I'm in on this from day one, 'cause even though I own much of his writing in print (in German language), this is really valuable stuff and deserves coming up in Logos searches and guides. Ratzinger is one of the deep thinkers and is not afraid to go where scripture, faith and thinking leads him - even if this means he is too conservative for current continental Europe's university theology and too liberal for North American evangelicalism. Makes him likeable way beyond the RCC, I think. But even those who don't like him for various reasons deserve to recognize him as an outstanding theologian.

I've also been in from the start.

Don't get me wrong. I still have many disagreements with Catholic theology, which I will not discuss on this forum. Objections should be based on fact, not on fantasy.
...and thank you all, it's under development!!!!

I'm in since 6/1/11 for pretty much the same reason...

I have found going to source material is much better than accepting a critic's evaluation without confirming the points claimed. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this Pope has been such a prolific writer. We have a track record available to read. I also find the subject matter of his books to be interesting. Anyone who has the ear of billions of people should not be ignored, even especially when you don't agree with him.
