In Pope Benedict XVI's first encyclical, he goes right to the root of everything.

God is love.

Ratzinger analyzes eros and agape and thoroughly contemplates the crucifixion in this encyclical.

It's in both the wound of Christ's side and the womb of Mary that Ratzinger believes to be the source of love, of God.

In a compelling, quick, clear, and heartfelt piece of writing; Ratzinger leads the Church into the Heart of love.
