Peter Seewald is a veteran German journalist who has done two other internationally best-selling book length interviews with Joseph Ratzinger (now Benedict XVI): Salt of the Earth and God and the World. He is also the author of Benedict XVI: An Intimate Portrait, and the photo-biography, Pope Benedict XVI: Servant of the Truth.
Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) is widely recognized as one of the most brilliant theologians and spiritual leaders of our age. As pope he authored the best-selling Jesus of Nazareth; and prior to his pontificate, he wrote many influential books that continue to remain important for the contemporary Church, such as Introduction to Christianity and The Spirit of the Liturgy.
When Cardinal Ratzinger, one of the Church's great wise men, sat
opposite me in the Abbey and patiently recounted to me the Gospel
and the belief of Christendom from the beginning of the world to
its end, something of the mystery that holds the world together
became more tangible. 'Creation itself', he said, 'bears within
itself an ordered pattern from which we can understand the ideas of
God--and even the right way to live.'
-- Peter Seewald
