Without a doubt Joseph Ratzinger, (AKA B16) is one of the theological giants of the the 20th century, beloved by many for his insight and gentleness. His more than 50 books cover a wide range of Theological topics. 15 of these works, all from Ignatius Press a premier Catholic publisher in the US and the biggest publisher of Benedict's work in this country are been offered in this collection. In my opinion, the "pre-pub" price for these works is very reasonable ($134.95., Why not make it an even $135 is beyond me) Here is the list of works.
* Behold the Pierced One: An Approach to a Spiritual Christology
* Called to Communion: Understanding the Church Today
* Church, Ecumenism and Politics: New Endeavors in Ecclesiology
* Co-Workers of the Truth: Meditations for Every Day of the Year
* Credo for Today: What Christians Believe
* God is Near Us: The Eucharist, the Heart of Life
* Introduction to Christianity (Rev. ed.)
* Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration
* Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection
* Principles of Catholic Theology: Building Stones for a Fundamental Theology
* The God of Jesus Christ: Meditations on the Triune God
* The Nature and Mission of Theology
* The Spirit of the Liturgy
* Truth and Tolerance: Christian Belief and World Religions
* What It Means to Be a Christian
This is a welcomed announcement for the Catholic Logos faithful, as it adds a great deal of muscle to the Catholic collection of resources, but more importantly could be an indication of things to come from joint ventures between Logos and Ignatius press.
The only complaint I have about this welcomed announcement is that two of my favorite Ratzinger works are not included The Apostles and Benedict's great meditation on the first chapters of the book of Genesis, "In the Beginning...": A Catholic Understanding of the Story of Creation and the Fall". Perhaps in the future...
"Viva Cristo Rey!!"

Deacon Santiago, thanks for the blog. I'm Andrew Jones, the new Catholic Products Manager at Logos. I share your passion both for Logos products and for the mission of the Catholic Church-- the brilliance of bringing them together! Logos has a lot in the works; us Catholics have a great deal to look forward to! (by the way, I'm paying very close attention to the suggestions, comments, and complaints of our Catholic users, so keep them coming). Ad majorem Dei gloriam!
