foreword pickwick publications september 13 2024 364 pgs the relationship between nature and grace is a key debate in fundamental theology the understanding of how nature and grace relate to each other is also a critically important part in comprehending the underpinnings of western secular culture and therefore how best to evangelise it this book compares john milbank and joseph ratzinger two relatively recent theologians who have both drawn from the insights of henri de lubac and have attempted to address the challenge that secular culture presents to the mission of the church in demonstrating and comparing how each author s approach to the nature grace couplet consequently determines their respective approach to secular culture it is hoped that responses to the challenge of secular culture might be more comprehensively considered revelation hermeneutics and doctrinal development in joseph ratzinger by mauro gagliardi author emmaus academic september 12 2024 200 pgs

will reverberate for generations to come the inspiration and truth of scripture testing the ratzinger paradigm verbum domini by aaron pidel author the catholic university of america press june 23 2023 226 pgs what does it mean to say that scripture is god s word and just how true is the bible though sometimes dismissed as fundamentalist concerns these questions also sent twentieth century catholic theology searching for a new paradigm of biblical inspiration theologians repeatedly attempted to reconcile the traditional conviction that the bible shares in the omniscience of its divine author with scholarly findings that suggested otherwise joseph ratzinger contributed both negatively and positively to this project deconstructing the regnant manualist models of inspiration and constructing an alternative inspired by st bonaventure the result is an ecclesial model of surprising comprehensiveness and balance indeed the inspiration and truth of scripture concludes that ratzinger s alternative provides the least inadequate paradigm currently on offer the inspiration and truth of scripture breaks new ground in several ways first it situates ratzinger within a broader catholic quest for a theology of inspiration showing his model offers advantages even relative to those proposed by modern theology s most eminent minds john henry newman pierre benoit karl rahner and david tracy secondly this book shows how ratzinger s paradigm generates tests for identifying the perennially valid affirmations of scripture and thus an approach to resolving disputed biblical questions must one who accepts the authority of scripture believe in the devil are the marian dogmas really in scripture to what extent does jesus s prohibition of divorce still apply in today s changed social circumstances just how historical are gospel narratives like the last supper intended to be the result is a book that bridges the gap between normative theology and historical exegesis the dynamics of the liturgy joseph ratzinger s theology of liturgy by fr d vincent twomey ignatius press october 22 2022 187 pgs the dynamics of the liturgy is a constructive critique of the post vatican ii liturgical reform through the lens of joseph ratzinger s liturgical and sacramental theology written by a former student of the great pope emeritus for ratzinger liturgy is the oxygen of the sacraments and his sacramental theology still largely unknown is the key to understanding his theology of liturgy this work highlights the specifically ritual dimension of liturgy and the significance this has for pope benedict xvi s proposed reform of the reform father vincent twomey warns that the ordinary and extraordinary forms of the roman rite which pope benedict xvi had promoted to enrich liturgical practice are dangerously drifting apart rather than as the pope emeritus intended complementing each other as part of an authentic renewal of the liturgy the eschatological person alexander schmemann and joseph ratzinger in dialogue by by andrew t j kaethler author d vincent twomey contributor cascade books july 12 2022 240 pgs both alexander schmemann and joseph ratzinger insist that the human person remains shrouded in mystery without god s self disclosure in the person of jesus christ like us jesus lived in a particular time and location and therefore time and temporality must be part of the ontological question of what it means to be a human person yet jesus the one who has time for us ascended to the father and the bride of christ awaits his return and therefore time and temporality are conditioned by the eschatological with this in mind the ontological question of personhood and temporality is a question that concerns eschatology how does eschatology shape personhood bringing together schmemann and ratzinger in a theological dialogue for the first time this book explores their respective approaches and answers to the aforementioned question while the two theologians share much in common it is only ratzinger s relational ontological approach that by being consistently relational from top to bottom consistently preserves the meaningfulness of temporal existence a living sacrifice liturgy and eschatology in joseph ratzinger by roland millare emmaus academic june 6 2022 336 pgs a living sacrifice focuses on the inherent relationship between eschatology and the liturgy in light of ratzinger s insistence upon the primacy of logos over ethos when logos is subordinated to ethos the human person becomes subjected to a materialist ontology that leads to an ethos that is concerned above all by utility and progress which affects one s approach to understanding the liturgy and eschatology how a person celebrates the liturgy becomes subject to the individual whim of one person or a group of people eschatology is reduced to addressing the temporal needs of a society guided by a narrow conception of hope or political theology if the human person wants to understand his authentic sacramental logos then he must first turn to christ the incarnate logos who reveals to him that he is created for a loving relationship with god and others the primacy of logos is the central hermeneutical key to understanding the unique vision of ratzinger s christocentric liturgical theology and eschatology this is coupled with a study of ratzinger s spiritual christology with a focus on how it influences his theology of liturgy and eschatology through the notions of participation and communion in christ s sacrificial love finally a living sacrifice examines ratzinger s theology of hope charity and beauty as well as his understanding of active participation in relationship to the eschatological and cosmic characteristics of the sacred liturgy repetition and mythos ratzinger s bonaventure and the meaning of history by matthew r boulter author philipp w rosemann contributor pickwick publications february 3 2022 304 pgs writing his habilitationsschrift as a young man in the late 1950s future pontiff joseph ratzinger argues that when st bonaventure composed his collationes in hexaëmeron in the spring of 1273 not since st augustine s de civitate dei contra paganos had the world seen such a ground breaking work on the logos of history indeed for ratzinger s bonaventure history is first philosophy the thirteenth century franciscan rails against the widespread assumption rooted the newly rediscovered aristotle of history s unintelligibility for bonaventure mythos mediates the difference between science and history yielding a non positivistic approach to the latter building on the dynamics of plato s line boulter show that the days of creation narrated by bonaventure structure both history and thought because like a story it has beginning and end history as a whole can be grasped hence eschatological knowledge of the end of the world is possible yet this work also shows how the false progress myths of modernity are counterfeit versions of true spiritual advancement of the kind embodied by saints such as francis and bonaventure himself what is the logos of history it turns out that it is mythos
