Cardinal Ratzinger engages the problem of truth, tolerance, religion and culture in the modern world. Describing the vast array of world religions, Ratzinger embraces the difficult challenge of meeting diverse understandings of spiritual truth while defending the Catholic teaching of salvation through Jesus Christ. "But what if it is true?" is the question that he poses to cultures that decry the Christian position on man's redemption. Upholding the notion of religious truth while asserting the right of religious freedom, Cardinal Ratzinger outlines the timeless teaching of the Magisterium in language that resonates with our embattled culture. A work of extreme sensitivity, understanding, and spiritual maturity, this book is an invaluable asset to those who struggle to hear the voice of truth in the modern religious world. <P>"Beyond all particular questions, the real problem lies in the question about truth. Can truth be recognized? Or, is the question about truth simply inappropriate in the realm of religion and belief? But what meaning does belief then have, what positive meaning does religion have, if it cannot be connected with truth?" <P>&#151;Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger From the Preface 696008 31 10 2004 Truth And Tolerance: Christian Belief And World Religions total:29|5:12|4:7|3:6|2:3|1:1| 29 113 64 7 2 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 02 18:18:23 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 18:34:31 -0800 2009
Bad news first: this is not a "book" inspite of being packaged as one, though this is not explained on the cover. Instead it is a collection of at best loosely related lectures given over several decades, thus it is uneven and...more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Dec 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 07 22:45:18 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 17:32:07 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Sep 22 05:43:45 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 05:46:07 -0700 2009 1 0 true false Fri Sep 26 11:00:26 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 11:02:17 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jan 20 17:44:16 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 17:45:13 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Nov 02 08:23:03 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 02 08:23:33 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 11:05:51 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 18:24:53 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 30 16:36:48 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 16:36:48 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 07 17:28:30 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 17:28:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 06:42:08 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 06:42:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 15:56:02 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 15:56:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 23:27:41 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 23:27:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 16:17:34 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 16:17:34 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 08 00:35:34 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 00:35:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 23 00:17:28 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 00:17:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 16 22:19:23 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 00:28:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 08 10:40:08 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 10:40:08 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat May 30 21:10:49 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 21:10:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 23 18:21:18 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 18:21:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 05 10:05:02 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 10:05:02 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=709740
