For the first time in the 2000 years of history of Christianity a pope draws a balance of his papacy.
Journalist Peter Seewald has lead numerous interviews with Benedikt XVI before and after the resignation. The pope emeritus speaks explicitly about the reasons for his resignation, the emphases of his pontificate, about his successer Pope Francis and controversial topics during his papacy, such as Vatileaks and the difficult reforms in the Curia .
Never before has Benedikt XVI spoken in such a personal way about his faith, the current challenges for Christianity and the future of the church.
His reminiscence of the family, of important companions and distinctive incidents of his biography underline the particular character of this book.
„Last Conversations“ are the legacy of the German Pope, one of the biggest theologians and thinkers of our times, who had lead the World Catholic Church with its 1.3 billion members during eight years and whose lifework is of leading significance for the Church of the third millennium.
