Description
Benedict XVI explores the lives and ideas of some of Christianity's greatest thinkers in this absorbing collection of 50 brief chapters. Originally delivered as public audiences, these sketches offer perceptive and edifying insights into the theological ideas and historical circumstances of key figures from the early church to the Middle Ages.
Divided into four parts, the book covers a range of theologians, ascetics, poets, mystics, and leaders, from the Apostolic Fathers to Later Medieval Thinkers. With clarity and experience, Benedict XVI explains the theological ideas and struggles of each, highlighting their deepest religious convictions and present importance to the church and Christian life today.
