One of Cardinal Ratzinger's most important and widely read books, this volume is a revised second edition with an improved translation and an in-depth preface by the Cardinal. As he states in the preface, since this book was first published over 30 years ago, many changes and significant events have occurred in the world, and in the Church. But even so, he says he is firmly convinced that his fundamental approach in this book is still very timely and crucial for the spiritual needs of modern man. That approach puts the question of God and the question about Christ in the very center, which leads to a "narrative Christology" and demonstrates that the place for faith is in the Church.

Thus, this remarkable elucidation of the Apostle's Creed gives an excellent, modern interpretation of the foundations of Christianity. Ratzinger's profound treatment of Christianity's basic truths combines a spiritual outlook with a deep knowledge of Scripture and the history of theology.

Everything PBXVI wrote is brilliant. This book is no exception. I Love it, even though a portionis very heady. I highly recommend it for individuals who are educated (having some philosophical training will always help when reading his work!).

Brilliant!

A great book that I found developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be highly intelligent and I found great relation with the message. I love Pope Benedict XVI and I further highly recommend this book.

A wonderful book

This was profound, encouraging, and pointed to Christ with clarity, charity, and erudition I have not seen before.

I found his insights on the historical significance of the trinity in respect to the God of reason from antiquity to be very informative and enlightening.

Excellent Book

I can’t recommend this book enough if you wish to dive deeper into the meaning and history of the faith. I, like many modern Christians, found myself resting upon a sort of superficiality in my faith in Christ, and Ratzinger provides layers upon layers of depth, which I found to strengthen not only my belief, but my awe in God. He may have been the Pope of the Catholic Church, but by all means, the book is for the entirety of the Christian Church.

May he Rest In Peace
