Pope Benedict XVI

Joseph Ratzinger (1927–2022) war ein deutscher Theologieprofessor und von 2005 bis zu seinem Rücktritt 2013 als Papst Benedikt XVI. Oberhaupt der römisch-katholischen Kirche in Rom. Er vertrat eine an den Kirchenvätern orientierte Theologie zur Verbindung von Glaube und Vernunft, stand jedoch wegen seiner konservativen Lehrpositionen und des Umgangs mit Missbrauchsfällen in der Kritik. Bibellesern bietet sein Werk, insbesondere seine Trilogie über Jesus von Nazareth, eine dogmatisch fundierte Schriftauslegung an der Schnittstelle von historischer Exegese und kirchlicher Überlieferung.
