hundreds of other Catholic
Jews were arrested in
Holland by the occupying
Nazis. Of them, 113 (several of them priests
and nuns) died at Auschwitz and other concentration

Nazi pastoral letter written by Dutch Catholic
bishops. While Edith Stein is the most famous,
all of them deserve the title of martyr. They

God and the logical consequences it entails, and offering
pithy advice to famous atheists such as Richard

Rediscovery of the True Face
of Jesus - Paul Badde
Badde was intrigued when
he heard of a mysterious
image in a remote Italian
village—an image of a man’s face on byssus cloth.
Byssus, or sea silk, is a rare fabric. It is so thin and
delicate that it is impossible to paint on—yet the image
in Manoppello is clearly visible and, moreover,
when laid over the image of the face on the Shroud
of Turin forms a perfect match.
Badde takes the reader along on a thrilling journey
of discovery as he travels to research this remarkable
relic, tracing the turbulent history of the
Holy Face from ancient times up to the historic 2006
visit to Manoppello by Pope Benedict XVI.

The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times
A tratedcoffee- ever has a Pope, in a book-length interview, dealt so directly with such
Nwide-ranging and controversial issues as Pope Benedict XVI does in
Light of the World. Taken from a recent week-long series of interviews with
veteran journalist Peter Seewald, this book tackles head-on some of the
greatest issues facing the world of our time. Just a few are:
• What caused the clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church?
• Was there a “cover up”?
• Have you considered resigning?
• Can there be a genuine dialogue with Islam?
• Should the Church rethink Catholic teaching on
nEW priestly celibacy, women priests, contraception,
and same-sex relationships?

the Baptism in the Jordan to the

Why was Jesus rejected
by the religious leaders of his
day? Who was responsible for
his death? Did he establish a Church to carry on his
work? Most importantly, did Jesus really rise from
the dead and what does his resurrection mean?
The story of Jesus raises many crucial questions.
Benedict brings to his study the vast learning of
a brilliant scholar, the passionate searching of a
great mind, and the deep compassion of a pastor’s
heart. In the end, he dares readers to grapple with
the meaning of Jesus’ life, teaching, death, and
resurrection. JN2-H . . . 315 pp, Hardcover, $24.95
