Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, writes eloquently and persuasivly about how one can live as a serious Christian in today's secular world. Almost a foreshadowing of his first encyclical, he talks in depth about the true meaning of love, the love of God and the love of neighbor.
Ratzinger also discusses at length the crucial importance of a lived faith, both for the believer himself and also as a witness for our age. The Christian must strive to bring his faith to bear on the present age, which has veered off into rampant secularism and materialism. He passionately encourages the reader to practice a deep abiding Christian faith that seeks to be at the service of mankind.
