Emeritus Pope Benedict commands both adulation and unremitting criticism. In this second volume of Peter Seewald’s authoritative biography, the story runs from the Second Vatican Council (1965-68) that shaped Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger’s conservative ideas about the role of the Catholic Church, through his short, scandal-ridden papacy and unprecedented resignation. Volume two introduces listeners to the Pope Emeritus living in the Vatican Gardens, contemplating the future of the church and his controversial legacy within it.

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 two-volume biography is the definitive record of the life of Joseph Ratzinger and the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI. This first volume follows his early life, from his days growing up in Germany and his conscription into the Hitler Youth during WWII to his career as an academic theologian and eventual archbishop of Munich.

2005 wurde der deutsche Kardinal Joseph Ratzinger zum Papst gewählt. Doch wer ist der Mensch, der als Benedikt XVI. auf dem Stuhl Petri saß? Der Journalist und Buchautor Peter Seewald hat in ausführlichen Gesprächen mit ihm hinter die Kulissen geschaut und präsentiert in dieser Biografie die bisher weniger bekannten Seiten in Benedikts Lebensgeschichte, inklusive seiner Jugendzeit. Seewald ist dem Oberhaupt der katholischen Kirche dabei so nah gekommen wie nur wenige andere und liefert spannende Einblicke in die biografischen Stationen, Ansichten und Positionen Benedikts XVI.

Since resigning from the papacy in 2013, the first pope in more than 700 years to do so, Pope Benedict has lived quietly in a convent in the Vatican gardens in Rome. He has devoted himself to a life of prayer and study and has vowed to remain silent, until now. So much controversy still surrounds Pope Benedict’s time in office - in this book, written with best-selling German author Peter Seewald, he addresses the issues of his papacy and reveals how, at his late age, governing and reforming the Church was beyond him.
