Crossing the Threshold of Hope – Pope John Paul II’s papacy was marked by many firsts, and in 1994 he became the first pope to pen a bestselling book with the publication of Crossing the Threshold of Hope (Knopf), an interview with the Italian journalist Vittorio Messori. Their conversation covers a variety of topics, including man’s dignity; pain, suffering and evil; the meaning of salvation and Christian hope; the role of women and the laity in the Church, and more. Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson took reader questions about Crossing the Threshold of Hope  on Aug. 28.
