Summary/Abstract: In his academic contributions, Joseph Ratzinger has dedicated a great attention to the issue of complementary science and rationality of the Christian announcement in the perspective of participation in Logos. Contrary to numerous analyses dealing with this issue and the established views of his theological manuscript, the following brief refl ection focuses on one of his earlier lectures and off ers a somewhat less conventional lecture of the rationality of the Christian message. Refl ection will turn its attention to those elements of rationality that support creativity and participate in shaping the content and meaning that is communicated. It is an integrating vision of rationality, not only freeing from cultural- -historical conditions and ideologies, enabling the development of dialogue between science and faith, but also especially strengthening the awareness of the relationship with the world and man.
