With clarity and wisdom, Pope Benedict XVI sets out his vision for
Catholic higher education in this first and only collection of his
major addresses on the topic. What is the mission and identity of a
Catholic university? What are the responsibilities of
administrators, teachers, and students in Catholic institutes of
higher learning? Where does the central theme of love of God and
others fit into academia? The pope's most important statements on
the nature of the university and its cultural and educative tasks
are brought together in this volume. Featured are the various
speeches he has given to university audiences since his pontificate
began. Also included are select addresses on education and culture,
themes that go to the heart of the mission of the university, and
that possess a value for society as a whole. Throughout these
addresses, the pope presents 2,000 years of lived tradition with a
striking freshness. His response to the contemporary challenges in
Catholic higher education will have an enduring historical impact.
The addresses are grouped in parts as follows: The Problem and the
Urgent Task Ahead; The Relationship of Faith and Reason; The
Symphony of Freedom and Truth; Education and Love; Pedagogy and
Learning; The Church: Education in Faith and Community; Culture and
the University; Science, Technology, and Theology; and Caritas and
Mission. John Garvey, president of the Catholic University of
America, provides a foreword in which he reflects on the themes of
the pope's speeches. J. Steven Brown, professor of mechanical
engineering at The Catholic University of America, edited the
volume.
