Europe, Relativism, Christianity, Islam
by Pope Benedict XVI
On May 12, 2004, Pope Benedict XVI--then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger--addressed the Italian Senate on the state of the West; the very same day, Joseph Pera, President of the Italian Senate, spoke before the Lateran College of the Papal University. Together they called upon the West to confront the spiritual, cultural, and political malaise that have afflicted it in the earliest years of the 21st century. In the months that ensued, before Cardinal Ratzinger's election to the papacy, they developed their ideas into the eloquent dialogue that is Without Roots -- a book that quickly became an Italian bestseller and is even more timely today than ever.
"Reasserting Europe's Christian identity and rebutting modern moral relativism, Rome packs a formidable punch .... Sure to spark controversy, their manifesto is required reading for any student of comparative religion or Vatican politics." - Kirkus.
"Brown provides a captivating look at grape growing and the passionate dedication it requires." - PW.
"Perhaps too much on the burgeoning wine business, but the delightful banter between the animals is sure to please fans who don't mind watching interesting human characters take a back seat to clever critters." - Kirkus.
