Omschrijving

Since his earliest contributions to Catholic theology, Joseph Ratzinger has been a subject of considerable scholarly interest. His work, spanning decades of theological inquiry, has shaped contemporary thought on faith, reason, and ecclesiology. From his beginnings as a theology professor to his role as a theological advisor during the Second Vatican Council, Ratzinger consistently demonstrated a commitment to doctrinal clarity and rigorous theological reflection, shaping his intellectual trajectory. His tenure as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under John Paul II further cemented his authority, and his writings as Benedict XVI offered a rich corpus of theological insight. Ratzinger's oeuvre is situated within that of the circle of Communio theologians, whose approach to theology is strongly Christocentric and biblical. St Augustine profoundly shaped Ratzinger's ecclesiology and his reflections on the relationship between faith and reason, a legacy further reinforced by the influence of Ratzinger's early mentors and intellectual heroes, many of whom were students of Augustine and Bonaventure.

The Oxford Handbook of Joseph Ratzinger provides a comprehensive exploration of his contributions, bringing together scholars from across the Anglosphere, Africa, and Europe. Contributors include theologians, journalists, and former colleagues from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, offering perspectives on fundamental theology, moral theology, sacramental theology, scriptural exegesis, liturgical theology, theological anthropology, and ecclesiology. With chapters spanning a range of theological disciplines, this Handbook offers a definitive reference on the theological thought of Joseph Ratzinger, illuminating his enduring influence within the Catholic tradition.
