      abstract = {This is Ratzinger's first book as Pope. Written in  conjunction with President of the Italian Senate, Marcello  Pera--a partnering of the statesman and the holy man--the  book is a reassessment of the European "West" and its  struggle to define itself in the wake of war, terrorism,  diplomatic and spiritual crisis. Pope Benedict reveals a  thorough grasp of the contemporary global climate and the  tentative and fractious bonds that tie Europe to the rest  of the world. Though critical and cautionary, the new Pope  ultimately offers an assertive message of hope to mend the  West's fractured identity and reconnect with its spiritual  roots.--From publisher description.},
