Christ Our Joy Mgr Joseph Murphy

The Theological Vision of Pope Benedict XVI

Noticing how often the new pope had the topic of 'joy' as the central theme of his many addresses, Murphy delved into the vast writings of the Pope – before and after his election to the papacy – and found that the theme of joy has pervaded all his theology. Recognising the Pope's invitation to joy as a key to understanding his basic theological vision, Murphy develops those ideas and writings in a creative way, and he helps the reader to engage personally with the original and pastoral mind of Pope Benedict XVI.

Pope Benedict XVI D Vincent Twomey SVD
The Conscience of our Age - A Theological Portrait

Vincent Twomey, a former doctoral student of Joseph Ratzinger and long time friend of Pope Benedict XVI, felt the need to respond to the common question he heard often after the election, What kind of person is the new Pope? Often Twomey had read false depictions of both the man and his thought – especially the image presented by the media as a grim enforcer.

Fr Twomey offers here a unique double-presentation of the man, Pope Benedict XVI – a theological portrait that encompasses both an overview of the writings, teachings and thought of the brilliant theologian and spiritual writer as well as the man himself, his personality traits, and how he communicates with others. Twomey also reveals that the secret to Benedict's serene dignified manner is his openness to beauty and truth. He lives for others and is not preoccupied with his own self.
