5.0 out of 5 starsSCHOLARLY, SIMPLE, AND FAITH-FOSTERING MEDITATIONS
By Peter Fennessy on October 19, 2006
Format: Hardcover
These thirteen short talks originated as occasional broadcasts on Bavarian Radio when the then-Cardinal Ratzinger offered meditations on the major feasts of the Church usually with reference to some work of art. About half had been published separately, and the book, first issued 9 years ago, has been translated and reissued following his election as Pope. Ratzinger is scholarly in his approach and sources, but offers his general audience a message that is both simple and profound. That will not surprise those who have listened to his recent talks. His reflections are mostly prompted and illustrated by images--artistic, poetic or symbolic--to touch the senses and heart as well as the mind. Developing the images and ideas with poetic fancy, professorial depth and patristic playfulness, he invites us to go beyond the merely aesthetic to the level of faith.

While the themes are random because of the disparate occasions on which the talks were given, there is an inner harmony among them, and since all sacred images are images of the resurrection, the harmony involves hope and resurrection joy. The art is often an illustration of the material rather than its source, and hence is not in general as essential to the presentation as it is, for example, in the Archbishop of Canterbury's Ponder These Things or Henri Nouwen's Behold the Beauty of the Lord. But Ratzinger's historical facts and theological insights are striking, and those dealing with Rome and the papacy all the more interesting in view of his later election to the see of Rome. Beyond this the text opens the riches of the Christian faith in a learned but very personable way. It's a quick read, and would repay a prayerful rereading of each chapter on its corresponding feast.

5.0 out of 5 starsGenial Wisdom
By L. Mack Hall on January 9, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Pope Benedict's longer theological works can be difficult to follow, not because the Pope is trying to be obscure but because he deals with realities (not opinions or moods) and never patronizes the reader. Images of Hope is more accessible because it is a collection of short essays, moving and even entertaining meditations on the Feasts of the Church. A great little book for the thinking Christian.

5.0 out of 5 starsEasy Reading
By John W. Burchfield on January 15, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a series of reflections that can each be read in a brief sitting, yet each conveys the remarkable breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding that Pope Benedict has developed. His writing is perhaps the most concise among modern theologians.

5.0 out of 5 starsImages of Hope: Meditations on Major Feasts
By Bjorn Viberg on March 31, 2013
Format: Hardcover
Images of Hope: Meditations on Major Feasts is book written by Pope Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI in 1997 when he was known as Joseph Ratzinger. In this short yet enticing book Pope Benedict XVI writes about the major feasts of the church. He writes in such a manner that both novice and expert of theology will find the book interesting and rewarding. The Pope discuses Christmas, Easter and Pentecost to mention a few. Highly recommended indeed. 5/5.
