| Immediately after Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope Benedict XVI, Scott Hahn was met with a chorus of, “Congratulations! Your man got in!” Taped on location at the 3rd Annual West Coast Biblical Conference, The Biblical Theology of Benedict XVI reveals Dr. Hahn’s long familiarity (even as a Protestant) with the work of the former Cardinal Ratzinger.
Now you’ll discover the mind of Benedict XVI on the importance of the Bible, and the importance of “criticizing criticism.” Hahn shows how, as Cardinal Ratzinger, Benedict discovered a “new synthesis” of Biblical study that was really very old—an updating of the Church’s ancient practice of experiencing the Sacred Scriptures within the context of the Sacred Liturgy.
Complete with charming personal anecdotes, including Hahn’s meetings with Ratzinger in Rome, this fascinating DVD lecture is a must for all those desiring to better understand the profound Biblical theology of the new Holy Father.
