THE WRITINGS OF POPE BENEDICT XVI

With Mark Brumley

Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI was one of the most important theological and spiritual writers of the last 100 years. His writings range from deep theology to pastoral guidance on prayer, from a trilogy of books on the life and teaching of Jesus to a masterful work on Christian worship called “The Spirit of the Liturgy”. This six-week course will explore key insights and themes from a selection of his writings. The aim is to deepen one’s Catholic faith and spiritual life through an understanding of some of the ideas and works of the man many regard as a modern Church Father.
