Pope Frances, it seems, is like none before him and both the
print and broadcast media appear captivated by his unique and highly personal
approach to problem solving. But so much of the media’s coverage tends to
consist of pithy sound bites, leaving us with the feeling that we really don’t
know the man behind the image.
Enter On Heaven and
Earth. This books details a long-running and free-wheeling discussion on
between Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who became Pope Frances, and Rabbi Abraham
Skorka. Through 29 chapters these two religious leaders off their views and
insights on a variety of topics ranging from God, the Devil, and Religion to
widely debated issues such as Abortion, Euthanasia, and Same-Sex Marriage.
It’s tantalizing to imagine participating in such an frank
and probing discussion with the Pope. Unfortunately, that is impossible.
Through Heaven and Earth we get the
next best thing. Be the proverbial fly on the wall and listen-in as the current
Pope opens his mind and heart on multiple issues.
Highly recommended!
