Özet

The long-awaited and authoritative biography of Pope Benedict XVI, a giant of the Catholic Church

Benedict XVI: A Life offers insight into the young life and rise through the Church’s ranks of a man who would become a hero and a lightning rod for Catholics the world over. Based on countless hours of interviews in Rome with Benedict himself, this much-anticipated two-volume biography is the definitive record of the life of Joseph Ratzinger and the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI.

This first volume follows the early life of the future pope, from his days growing up in Germany and his conscription into the Hitler Youth during World War II to his career as an academic theologian and eventual Archbishop of Munich. The second volume, set to be published in 2021, will cover his move to Rome under Pope John Paul II, his ascension to the papacy, and his controversial retirement and news-making statements under his successor, Pope Francis I.

This necessary companion to Benedict’s own memoir, Last Testament, is the fullest account to date of the life of a radical Catholic leader who has continued to make news while cloistered in retirement in the Vatican gardens.

Josef Ratzinger has one of the greatest minds in Church history, and is one of the great European 'intellectuals'. Volume one is an admirable portrait of the man and his thought, and was highly enjoyable on audio.

A thorough and engaging study of the early years

This is an excellent bio, however the audiobook is ruined by the fact that the narrator is mispronouncing almost every German word (and there are many in this book, including names of people and places and titles of books).

The narrator cannot pronounce German!

An extraordinary insight into a compelling and significant life. It is thorough, engaging and entertainingly read. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful

Wonderful book, providing a vivid and engaging portrait of the man who became Benedict XVI. Great to find out about the true story of a man of God so much misunderstood and misportrayed by the media of our time.

An encounter with the real Benedict XVI

Excellent book! However, the narrator was extremely poor when it came to either technical words in English or any word in a foreign language. It’s extremely easy these days to look up correct pronunciation, so there is no excuse for this, quite frankly.

Excellent work, but poor narrator
