New book by Pope Benedict

Over supper tonight, I opened up the latest book published by Pope Benedict XVI. This book is essentially an edited collection of his weekly addresses in Rome on his spiritual reflections on church.
We read and learn from this writing of the singular influence of the church of today from the lives of the first apostles.
Moreover, as we read about the apostsles, we glean an insight into the mind of the Pope.
This book, ‘The Apostles’, is an important contribution to the understanding of the history of the church and its developed Tradition.
