Short description:
The first book to examine in detail the theological vision of Pope Benedict XVI. Rowland assesses his attitudes on moral theology, western culture, the liturgy and structure of the Catholic Church; she considers his interpretation of the Second Vatican Council, and his relations with other important scholars and theologians.
MoreLong description:
A general introduction to the theology of Pope Benedict XVI, including his approach to issues in moral and political theology, ecclesiology, liturgy, interpretations of the of the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and the theology of history. Tracey Rowland also addresses the question of Pope Benedict's place in the constellation of contemporary Catholic theologians. It has become a commonplace observation that Pope Benedict has been influenced by the thought of St Augustine, in contrast to many of his predecessors in the papacy who were much more strongly influenced by St Thomas Aquinas. Rowland therefore asks in what way Benedict is an Augustinian, and how this marked difference in theological perspective may play out in the coming years. Her book includes an extensive thematic bibliography, which will be valuable for students.
Benedict/Ratzinger has shown himself to be more conciliatory in his leadership than many had exoected. Tracey Rowland's study, written for readers who are not necessarily theologians, helps us understand why.
