Qué es el cristianismo

In the last years of his retirement in the Mater Ecclesiae monastery, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI wrote essays, letters and speeches -partly unpublished-, now gathered in this careful edition by his Italian biographer, Elio Guerriero, and his secretary. staff, Georg Gänswein. As a result of his theological and moral reflection, the Supreme Pontiff addressed in his texts the importance of defending and transmitting the truth of the Christian faith, reflection on contemporary relativism, the purposes of interreligious dialogue, cases of sexual abuse in the Church or the meaning for our time of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. Together, these writings constitute the last spiritual legacy of Benedict XVI, a testimony and a warning against the dominance of positivist reason at the service of technique or economy, which prospers with its back to God and reduces the existence of the human being.
