Allow 1-3 weeks for delivery within the 50 United States In Many Religions, One Covenant, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger spans deep divides in modern Catholic scholarship to present a compelling biblical theology, modern in its concerns yet classical in its breadth. It is his classical mastery, his ressourcement, that enables the Cardinal to build a bridge.

Cardinal Ratzinger seeks to deepen our understanding of the Bible's most fundamental principle. The covenant defines religion for Christians and Jews. We cannot discern God's design or his will if we do not meditate upon his covenant.

The covenant, then, is the principle that unites the New Testament with the Old, the Scriptures with Tradition, and each of the various branches of theology with all the others. The covenant does more than bridge the gaps between these elements; it fills in the gaps, so that biblical scholarship, dogmatic theology, and magisterial authority all stand on common ground - solid ground - all are firmly grounded in Christ.

"A book we have long awaited. By renewing the Church's appreciation of the new covenant, Cardinal Ratzinger proposes a fully integrated Christian life, with Christ at the center of the Scriptures, but also at the center of the Church today. For in the Eucharist he is still, as ever, fulfilling the old covenant and ratifying the new."

"In this book, little in appearance but great in importance, Cardinal Ratzinger with sapiential depth and theological clarity sheds new light on the dialogue of religions and especially on the relation between Israel and the Church, showing the inner continuity and unity of the two Testaments, of God's promise to Abraham and his covenant(s) with Israel and the fulfillment of the Law by Jesus on the Cross."
- Cardinal Christoph Schnborn
