Meer over het boek

The book addresses the urgent need for clarity in theology, emphasizing that true theology goes beyond mere human reasoning and incorporates divine revelation. Joseph Ratzinger argues that understanding theology requires acknowledging limits and recognizing the foundational truths provided by faith. He critiques the tendency to label various religious theories as Christian or Catholic without adherence to the essential tenets of the tradition, asserting that genuine theological discourse must respect these foundational beliefs.
