"A lucid account of Ratzinger's long theological career and likely manner of leadership in the future." -- Kirkus Reviews"Magisterial. . . . Authoritative. . . . An exemplary book." -- Booklist"Weigel is not the only man in the world offering advice to the Pope, but he is rare in the perception and prudence with which he does it." -- National Review"First rate.... Weigel boasts real strengths: an engaging and elegant writing style, orthodoxy that is willing and even eager to engage with the other side on the intellectual battlefield, and a generous sprinkling of obscure factoids and anecdotes that keeps things lively." -- The American Spectator"A brilliant and important book." -- Philadelphia Inquirer
