2020 Association of Catholic Publishers third place award in theology

2020 Catholic Press Association third place award in Pope Francis books

The dangerous tendency to reduce theological positions to political ones has always fueled divisions in the Church, and it plagues debates surrounding Pope Francis’s teaching today. This collection of essays was born of a landmark international symposium designed to promote theological understanding by contextualizing the thought of Pope Francis-from his understanding of history to his theology of mission-within important theological conversations rarely heard in the US Catholic Church. Its contributors demonstrate decisively that Pope Francis’s magisterium is the fruit of a profound and distinctive, yet deeply Catholic, intellectual engagement with the theological and ecclesial traditions of the Church.

Contributors include: Austen Ivereigh, Archbishop Christophe Pierre, Rodrigo Guerra Lopez, Bishop Robert Barron, Massimo Borghesi, Susan K. Wood, SCL, Rocco Buttiglione, Guzman Carriquiry Lecour, Peter J. Casarella, Brian Y. Lee, Thomas L. Knoebel
