What People Are Saying

“We need to be grateful to Dr. Rowland for this volume, which places culture back at the center of the Church’s attention. Drawing chiefly on the thought of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, Rowland points out the distinguishing marks of a culture that is truly Christian. By dedicating two chapters on the overthrow of communism in Poland, she also gives a concrete and opportune example of a culture’s successful transformation by the workings of a creative minority.”

“In this fine collection of essays Tracey Rowland sustains and deepens her articulation of a non-correlationist theology of culture for which culture as formation is nonetheless essential to the theological project. In the course of doing so she shows us what a wise and significant theologian of culture Joseph Ratzinger has been, and why his influence is likely to outlast those of his detractors.”
John Milbank
University of Nottingham
“In this learned collection of essays, Tracey Rowland offers a sober challenge and corrective to the anti-culture generated by modern liberal orders. While engaging a wide range of major figures in this essential study of our theological-political condition—including Wojtyla, Ratzinger, Havel, MacIntyre, and Guardini—Rowland not only distills and integrates but achieves a critical perspective that is distinctive, instructive, and timely.”
Patrick J. Deneen
University of Notre Dame
“The Australian theologian Tracey Rowland is recognized as an internationally esteemed expert in all matters pertaining to Pope Benedict XVI. This precious collection of essays offers a rich, variegated tapestry of topics: from Benedict XVI, culture, Augustine, Thomism, John Paul II, natural law, and Vatican II to ecumenism. New perspectives are being unlocked. The uniting melody is the mystery of the Godman among us. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
