Interpreting the Signs of the Times: Church and Secularity in the Theology of Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI

Interpreting the Signs of the Times is a collection of essays inspired by Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI's theology of the Church. The essays, delivered at the Conference of the Pope's Vatican Foundation held at Franciscan University of Steubenville, capture the depth and significance of his grand vision, and apply it to the significant issues facing the Church today. The volume contains also the letter that Pope Benedict wrote on the occasion of the conference, among his last written words before his death on December 31, 2022.
