The Pope's new book


Pope's book on Jesus out April 16

He's a respected theologian and a quite prolific author but his works fit that niche, namely books of a theological nature. It will be interesting to read a book of a more personal nature even if he is more theological than a lot of writers, even in his personal writing. I remember getting the first book of his that I read - Introduction to Christianity. It was first published in 1969 and I found it about 1976 or so. I actually found it on the street. I assume that it was lost by a student. Anyway, it's a very good book. He's a very gifted and intelligent writer.
