The Thought of Pope Benedict XVI new edition: An Introduction to the Theology of Joseph Ratzinger

Autor Aidan Nichols
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 iul 2007
Aidan Nichols' timely book is the first full-scale investigation of Joseph Ratzinger's theology, from the 1950s to the present day. It presents a chronological account of the development of Ratzinger's writing that reflects a wide range of historical and theoretical interests. A comprehensive introduction to a figure who is in his own right, quite apart from his significance in the politics of the Church, a major German Catholic theologian of the twentieth century.

This new edition amplifies existing chapters by reference to books by Ratzinger between 1986/1987 and his election as Pope in 2005, and includes two new chapters - Judaism, Islam and other religions, and the secularization and future of Europe.

'A highly lucid presentation of Ratzinger's theology, which reveals a complete mastery of his writings as well as the secondary literature.' Heythrop Journal
'So good an introduction is this book that I am eager to read more of Ratzinger, for he has a lot to say; not least, in criticism of my own position.' Reformed Theological Review
'Anyone who wants to understand where Ratzinger is coming from should read it carefully.' National Catholic Register
'A beautiful presentation of the theological achievement of Joseph Ratzinger combines a confident grasp of the general trends of Ratzinger's thinking with almost a poet's feel for particularities of place and with a trained historian's sense of the period.' Chesterton Review
'An important introduction, not only to the mind and heart of one man, but to the intellectual ferment of his times.' Expository Times
'Nichols begins his book with an excellent chapter on the historical background of Ratzinger, tracing the history of Bavaria from its beginnings and giving much interesting material about the Church in Germany in the time of Hitler.' Priests and People
'Those who want to get closer to this thinker should consult [The Thought of Pope Benedict XVI]. This, the first study of its kind in English, is a meticulously researched, lucid account of Ratzinger's thought.' Economist
