—Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger

GOD, THREE AND ONE

In this book of meditations, based on a series of meditations by the author shortly before he became Archbishop of Munich-Freising in 1977, theologian Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) presents his profound thoughts on the nature and person of God, building a bridge between theology and spirituality as he makes wide use of the Sacred Scriptures to reveal the beauty and mystery of who God is.
