She Is Our Response: The Virgin Mary and the Church's Encounter with Modernity in the Writings of Joseph Ratzinger

What is a human being? What does it mean to be free? What is human dignity? These questions lie at the heart of modernity. Pope Benedict XVI has tackled these tough questions his whole life in the Church. This exciting new book presents his vision of Mary as the one who shows the true face of humanity to the modern world, a vision of hope and healing for our fragmented era.
