Joseph Ratzinger’s Greatest Symphony: Introduction to Christianity

Joseph Ratzinger has been called the “Mozart of Theology.” In this course we will read his magnum opus, Introduction to Christianity, which elucidates the Apostles’ Creed in light of challenges posed by Modernity. We will also consider how ideas contained in this book animated his subsequent theological work and papal writings.
