Prospettiva unitaria e integrativa dei principi teologici nel pensiero di Joseph Ratzinger / Benedetto XVI
The Unifying and Integrative Perspective of the Theological Principles in the Thought of Joseph Ratzinger / Benedict XVI

Summary/Abstract: The present article contains a synthesis of several historical-theological studies of the thought of Joseph Ratzinger. The methodolo- gy used is systematic, positive, and descriptive. In these lines the central ideas of the theolog- ical thought of Joseph Ratzinger / Benedict XVI are presented, with the intention of appre- ciating the unifying and integral perspective present in his ideas, as certain current authors have proposed. The various themes of Ratzinger’s theology are structured around what we have called the theological principles of his thought: Christ, Sacred Scripture, Ecclesiology, Mariology, and Liturgy, to which are added the practical and more pastoral aspects, present in the non-exclusive categories of proclamation and mission. Many other arguments could be included in this article, even if the development and exposition of the themes presented aim to explain the intrinsic unity found in the thought of the German theologian.
