James Day

Father Benedict

The Spiritual and Intellectual Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Pope Benedict XVI is widely considered among many to be the greatest theologian and Catholic thinker of our time. In these pages, author James Day unpacks the voluminous teachings of Pope Benedict and presents his remedies for the many ills afflicting the Church and our culture, including individualism, materialism, secularism, and godlessness. At a time when the many "isms" of our day are pulling people away from the Faith, Father Benedict presents a hope-filled future, but only if we are to follow the guidance of Pope Benedict and the path he presents to us in every aspect of life: the formation of the Christian faith, in loving others, in personal vocation, in education, and in how we see the natural world. Through his lifetime of bridge building, Benedict XVI proposes to be the Vergil to the Dantes of our generation, calling for both a New Evangelization and a sacramental return to Christ and His Church. The Father of the West who guided the poet has become the Holy Father who did the unthinkable, and now only simply wishes to be called "Father Benedict."
