In his second encyclical, Pope Benedict XVI
discusses the themes of Christian hope,
redemption, and salvation. Benedict inspires
with Scriptural and saintly examples in which
hope seems nearly impossible but is essential
to the faith. He testifies that faith and hope are
intertwined and vital to the eternal life of
modern Christians.
