Pope Benedict XVI's announcement of his imminent resignation has, understandably, ushered in a flood of assessments of his papacy, both of his administration of the Papal office and of his theological contributions. Many observers have characterized Benedict XVI as remaining foremost a theologian; it is in that role that a multidisciplinary group of scholars treat the full scope of Benedict's theological work in "Explorations in the Theology of Benedict XVI."

Edited by John C. Cavadini, the volume provides an introduction to Benedict's ecclesially grounded theology, articulated in his essays, monographs, and sermons, and also serves as a primer in the major concerns of recent and current Catholic theological discourse. Says Cavadini: "We are losing a great leader, certainly one of the most sophisticated theological minds to serve as Pope in modern history. His legacy is one of integration on so many fronts -- integration of faith and reason above all, but also of witness and dialogue, culture and community, Catholic Social Teaching and its place in the wider framework of Catholic theology, Eros and Agape -- he refused dichotomy and cultivated dialectic."
