.. one of Germany's leading modem theologians has produced a clear and thorough doctrine of God in The God of Jesus Christ. It will be an excellent book for students of theology who want a comprehensive survey of this central matter, for those who want an introduction to the range of traditional and modem positions without ever getting too far from practical and pastoral relevance and for those who simply ask: Is it possible to have a critical, rational and strong doctrine of the Trinity today? This is a fine, unoriginal statement that manages to show the richness, depth and adequacy of a main-stream orthodox position rethought in the context of contemporary debates.' (Expository Times) ...the author speaks of learning from the fathers to have the courage to think things out for himself. The freshness and lucidity of his approach bear witness to his success.' (The Way) ...an excellent account of the problematic character of faith in God at the present time' (New Blackfriars) 'There are many illuminating aspects and a good awareness of both dogmatic and other issues, in particular of the centrality of the doctrine of the Trinity for our understanding of salvation.'

Seasons of Grace

In this thought-provoking address given to the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Walter Kasper, whom Pope Francis has called a superb theologian," discusses everything that is beautiful about the family without avoiding its problems. According to Cardinal Kasper, the family functions as a small domestic church that can be a privileged route to evangelization. He speaks of this domestic church in a broad sense that includes the nuclear family as well as communities, parish groups, and other organizations. Cardinal Kasper considers the rediscovery of the gospel of the family, the family s place in the order of creation, and the vision of the family in the Book of Genesis and in God s plan. The cardinal then reflects on the structures of sin within the family, including family problems, tensions between men and women, and the suffering of women and mothers. Finally, he concludes with a discussion of the family in the Christian order of redemption, drawing from the gospels and other New Testament texts about the family, such as St. Paul s Letter to the Ephesians. He discusses marriage as a sacrament and its sanctifying grace. The cardinal also mentions the issue of those who have remarried after divorce. He stresses the need to unite pastoral care, the words of Jesus, and an understanding of divine mercy in responding to these Catholics. "Yesterday, before falling asleep, though not to fall asleep, I read, or re-read, Cardinal Kasper's remarks. I would like to thank him, because I found a deep theology, and serene thoughts in theology. It is nice to read serene theology. It did me well and I had an idea, and excuse me if I embarrass Your Eminence, but the idea is this: this is called doing theology while kneeling. Thank you. Thank you." Pope Francis

"Mercy is the new Christian awareness. Mercy gives a foretaste and an anticipation of what we hope for, the coming of the heavenly Jerusalem. . . . One beam of mercy makes the world warmer and brighter for all people." Cardinal Walter Kasper Walter Kasper, a German bishop and theologian, has long been regarded as a vital expositor of the gospel and one of the leading voices of church renewal and reform. Named a cardinal in 2001, Kasper served as president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and represented the Church in advancing Jewish-Christian relations. He assumed an especially important role under Pope Francis, who publicly endorsed Kasper's book on Mercy, thus signaling a principle theme of his papacy. This volume reflects the major themes of Kasper's long career. Given the breadth of his work, the selections here on God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, Ecumenism, and Christian Hope, represent a veritable introduction to the Christian faith.
