Meeting Saint Paul with the Pope: Wednesday Audiences During the Pauline Jubilee Year
by Pope Benedict XVI (9780809146642)

During the special Pauline Jubilee Year, Pope Benedict XVI used his Wednesday audiences as an opportunity to meet one of the most influential persons in the history of Christianity, Saint Paul. 'Meeting Saint Paul' is the complete collection of these twenty-one papal reflections. Pope Benedict's many years of teaching experience are evident in this insightful series in which Saint Paul is not seen as a historical figure from the past but as a person who continues to speak to us today. Each catechesis is a progression that begins with the world and historical times of Saint Paul, continues with his biography and dramatic conversion experience, and considers Paul's relationship with the other apostles and early Christian communities, along with major Pauline themes of the cross, Christology, church, justification, sacraments, and second coming. The accompanying study and reflection questions that concluded each of these twenty-one papal meetings provide helpful ways to appreciate the timeless message of this saint. This is an ideal resource for both individual reading and for group study, with Pope Benedict as the teacher.
