Synopsis

This course will give you deep insight into the mind and pastoral program of Pope Benedict XVI, the most learned of popes. Fr. Burgaleta has included what he considers to be Benedict''s most important contributions to date as a theologian and preacher.

In particular, this program will focus on the classic topics of theology as Benedict himself has done both before and after assuming the Chair of Peter: faith, God, Christology, the Church, the liturgy, the word of God and the preaching and spirituality that flow from it, as well as Catholic social teaching. We begin our study of Pope Benedict XVI by understanding the context that produced this great figure, the ideas that shaped him, and the events that impacted on his personal life and professional career. Finally, we will conclude with a review of the beginning of his pontificate including predictions of what we can expect from this most brilliant and surprising successor of Peter.

Pope Benedict XVI is without question one of the great theological minds of the second-half of the 20th century and beyond. You will find this course fascinating and compelling.

This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

Goodreads review by Richard on April 28, 2022

My review of the first volume (found on Goodreads, as well) was enthusiastic. That enthusiasm only increased as I plowed through this even larger concluding volume. What an amazing man and an amazing life -- one with joys, to be sure, but also with much suffering. Again, I learned much I never knew......more

Goodreads review by Jim on December 29, 2022

One of the criticisms of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) is that he's a... reactionary Conservative prelate with... a Nazi German upbringing. This book attempts to address this reputation. The book argues that Pope Benedict XVI wasn't perhaps the best manager of people, was too trusting, was per......more
