Joseph Ratzinger has served on the faculty in Freising, Bonn, Munster, Tubingen and finally Regensburg. There he became the Dean of the Theological Faculty and was made a cardinal. He stands as one of the preeminent Catholic Theologians of the twentieth century. Concerning the authentic foundation of the Catholic doctrine and the ever-expanding expression of its substance, the ecumenical problem of the present generation, the relation of faith with history and especially with the development of philosophical thinking, this volume offers a most lucid and courageous treatment of the proclamation of the Christian gospel in the midst of a neo-pagan world.
