Title: The Origins of Christian Brotherhood and the need to recover them
Product review: Cardinal Ratzinger (Now Pope Benedict XVI) has a masterful talent for explaining things with thoroughness and clarity. He seems to anticipate any corner of doubt or objection to an argument and to adress it. That is the case in this book. This book is a rather short read, certainly one of his shorter works. In it he addresses the origins of the concept of brotherhood, how it developed in the ancient world, politically and religiously, and he traces it all the way through the beginnings of Christianity to modern times. Having done this, he then speaks to the need for recovering and purifying this notion in modern times.He addresses the issues of how Christians should act among themselves and in their interactions with others, both clearing up misconceptions and putting forth challenging ideals. Truly a great read!
