| Abstract | "This book brings the thought of John Henry Newman into conversation with that of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI on a number of crucial theological themes. The book begins with a programmatic essay by Tracey Rowland connecting Newman's approach with that of Ratzinger's doktorvater Gottlieb Söhngen, along seven instructive paths. The book then delves into central themes of both Newman's and Ratzinger's thought, with essays that treat dogmatic development, the relationship of faith and reason, biblical inspiration, mystery, conscience, attentiveness to the "signs of the times," interculturality and revelation, the Church as the Mystical Body, ecclesial authority, the relationship of faith and natural science, and deification"-Dust jacket flap |
