KBB-4 Without Roots is a collection of two essays and two letters, one by each author, about the existential crisis facing Western societies, particularly in Europe. Written by a future Pope and a President of the Italian Senate, the book approaches the major issues from both the religious and secular viewpoints. What is the role of Christianity in today's society? How dangerous is relativism? and Whither Europe? are just a few of the questions they seek to answer, and their answers are still very relevant today. With the exceptions of a few chestnuts like the European Constitution, the book has aged very well in its first decade. Those with an interest in Western civilization, moral relativism, and the roles and church and state will want to pick it up. Highly recommended. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This is Ratzinger's first book as Pope. Written in conjunction with President of the Italian Senate, Marcello Pera--a partnering of the statesman and the holy man--the book is a reassessment of the European "West" and its struggle to define itself in the wake of war, terrorism, diplomatic and spiritual crisis. Pope Benedict reveals a thorough grasp of the contemporary global climate and the tentative and fractious bonds that tie Europe to the rest of the world. Though critical and cautionary, the new Pope ultimately offers an assertive message of hope to mend the West's fractured identity and reconnect with its spiritual roots.--From publisher description.
