Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger’s election as Pope Benedict XVI brought a world-class theologian to the papacy. With an intensely biblical quality to his pastoral teaching, he has demonstrated a keen concern for the authentic interpretation and application of sacred Scripture.
In Covenant and Communion, Scott Hahn, a preeminent interpreter of Catholic thought and life, offers a probing look at Benedict’s theology, providing a clear and concise introduction to the 265th pope’s life and work. Hahn argues that the heart of Benedict’s theology is salvation history and the Bible, and he shows how Benedict accepts historical criticism—but recognizes its limits. Examining how Benedict reads the overall narrative of Scripture, Hahn shows how Benedict puts it to work in theology, liturgy, and Christian discipleship.
