No wonder even sympathetic readers find themselves perplexed and on the lookout for a reliable guide. In this latest in T\u0026amp;T Clark's Guide for the Perplexed series, Tracey Rowland has given us just what we need: the best overview of the pope's thought currently available.' - Edward T. Oakes, S.J., Chester \u0026amp; Margaret Paluch Professor of Theology, University of St. Mary of the Lake\/ Mundelein Seminary, USA. -- Edward T. Oakes, S.J.\u003cbr\u003e‘Tracey Rowland's beautifully composed book is a masterpiece of scholarship and argument. With exceptional clarity, she shows that Pope Benedict's critique of secularism and his defense of traditional Catholicism are grounded in a symphonic synthesis - of Scripture, the living Tradition of the Church, the teachings of its Doctors and Fathers as well as a modern attention to history and culture. His Romantic Orthodoxy is key to a Christian Renaissance and the reunification of the episcopally-based Churches. As Rowland's vivid portrait reveals, Benedict's theological vision makes him one of the most significant pontiffs since the Reformation.' - Adrian Pabst, Lecturer in Politics, University of Kent at Canterbury, UK. -- Adrian Pabst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter I: The Intellectual Antecedents and Contemporary Interlocutors:; Chapter II: The Response to the Modernist Crisis; Chapter III: The Response to Heidegger; Chapter IV: The Essential Difference of Christianity; Chapter V: The Response to Kasper and Kung; Chapter VI: The Theological Virtues; Chapter VII: The Importance of Beauty \u0026amp; other Augustinian Motifs.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403055046999,"sku":"9780567034373","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780567034373.jpg?v=1730482266","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/benedict-xvi-a-guide-for-the-perplexed-guides-for-the-perplexed-9780567034373","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
