From scholarly monographs to papal homilies, Joseph Ratzinger
has insisted consistently over decades that Christianity is not a
set of ideas to believe or, even less, moral laws to follow.
Rather, Christianity is about a person and our encounter with that
person.
In "The Word Made Love," Christopher Collins identifies in the
structure of Ratzinger's thought the presentation of God as one who
speaks and who ultimately speaks Himself in the person of Jesus
Christ. Humanity's posture before God is one of hearing and
responding. For Ratzinger, then, dialogue is the basic structure of
al reality, and the Christian Vision articulates the radical
transformation that happens when we enter into this divine
dialogue. Collins argues that this dialogical, communicative
structure is a distinctive aspect of Ratzinger's thought and a
unique contribution to the renewal of theology in our day.
