Ratzinger's Augustinianism and Evangelicalism: An Exploration in Ecumenical Rapprochement - Paperback

by Patrick G. McGlinchey (Author)

This monograph explores whether the theology of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (the theologian Joseph Ratzinger) provides an unexpected bridge to the evangelical tradition.
While highlighting the author's strongly Catholic ecclesiology, this publication also demonstrates that Benedict XVI is both strongly committed to a theology of grace and a surprisingly open and constructive dialogue partner when it comes to thorny issues such as Infant Baptism, Mariology and Purgatory.
