Synopsis "On Heaven and Earth "

New York Times Bestseller!From the man who became Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio shares his thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges the world faces in the 21st century with Abraham Skorka, a rabbi and biophysicist.For years Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Argentina, and Rabbi Abraham Skorka were tenacious promoters of interreligious dialogues on faith and reason. They both sought to build bridges among Catholicism, Judaism, and the world at large. On Heaven and Earth, originally published in Argentina in 2010, brings together a series of these conversations where both men talked about various theological and worldly issues, including God, fundamentalism, atheism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and globalization. From these personal and accessible talks comes a first-hand view of the man who would become pope to 1.2 billion Catholics around the world in March 2013.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, known worldwide as Pope Francis, was a prolific author in the genres of spirituality, theology, and social doctrine. Before his election as pontiff in 2013, he wrote works such as Meditations for Religious (1982) and On Self-Accusation (2005). During his papacy, he published fundamental texts like the encyclicals Lumen fidei (2013), Laudato si’ (2015), and Fratelli tutti (2020), as well as the apostolic exhortation Evangelii gaudium (2013). In 2024, he presented his autobiography Hope, considered the first written by a sitting Pope.

His most recent work, Hope Never Disappoints (2025), reflects his ongoing commitment to social and spiritual issues. Throughout his life, Bergoglio wrote more than 30 books, establishing himself as one of the most influential voices of the contemporary Church.
