Overview

“Having faith in the Lord is not something that involves solely our intelligence, the area of intellectual knowledge; rather, it is a change that involves our life, our whole self: feelings, heart, intelligence, will, corporeity, emotions, and human relationships. With faith everything truly changes.” So Pope Benedict XVI introduced his catechesis for the Year of Faith, a series of 16 talks given at his weekly audience from October 2012 to the end of his papacy in February 2013. This volume collects these talks as they explore how and why faith is relevant in the contemporary world. Offering the guidance of biblical exegesis, pastoral exhortation, and brotherly encouragement, Pope Benedict XVI seeks to answer questions of faith that arise in twenty-first century culture.
