James Corkery SJ

outlines the many contexts which have shaped Pope Benedict XVI. It explores the tensions which were important in shaping his theological direction as well as ‘his polemical bent and his keen eye for where the Gospel and the world diverge.’

‘ … a sympathetic presentation that shows the roots, the coherence, the consistency of Ratzinger’s thought, but it is not uncritical.… highlighting the questions and issues that require continued development and debate.’
David N. Power OMI, author of The Eucharistic Mystery; Revitalising the Tradition

‘James Corkery SJ has extablished himself as one of the foremost interpretators of Pope Benedict’s thought in the English-speaking world.’
John P. Galvin, Catholic University of America
