Ex umbris et imaginbus in veritatem
Reverend Professor Dr. Daniel Westberg of Nashotah House was
contracted to contribute to this volume. We were all saddened
and shocked by his death. Dan was a good friend to some
of us and a welcome colleague to many more in both
Anglican and evangelical circles. He will be
remembered as a faithful priest and
theologian of the church. It is
to his memory that this
volume is warmly
dedicated.

About The Theology of Benedict XVI: A Protestant AppreciationGod’s rottweiler or shepherd of the faithful? There’s no doubt about Benedict XVI’s theological legacy. He’s been at the center of every major theological controversy in the Catholic Church over the last fifty years. But he remains a polarizing figure, misunderstood by supporters and opponents alike. A deeper understanding of Benedict’s theology reveals a man dedicated to the life and faith of the church. In this collection of essays, prominent Protestant theologians examine and commend the work of the Pope Emeritus. Katherine Sonderegger, Kevin Vanhoozer, and Carl Trueman—among others—present a full picture of Benedict’s theology, particularly his understanding of the relationship between faith and reason and his pursuit of truth for the church. The global Christian faith can learn from Benedict’s insight into the modern church and his desire to safeguard the future of the church by leaning on the wisdom of the ancient church. |
