Africa's religious practice is intense, and the continent is capable of making its voice heard on global Catholicism\/Christianity matters. Joseph Ratzinger\/Benedict XVI, a beloved and admired contemporary theologian, is particularly popular among African scholars due to his convening of a second synod on Africa, focusing on justice, peace, and reconciliation. This book showcases the Church in Africa's affection for Benedict XVI and provides a fruitful space for Africa's engagement with the wider Church. Benedict XVI has also described Africa as the spiritual lung of the world, and this volume testifies to the vitality and healthiness of that lung, making it a must-read for anyone interested in African Catholicism and its impact on global Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 x 6 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781587310447\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurice Ashley Agbaw-ebai,Stephen Kizito Forbi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44696606671098,"sku":"9781587310447","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1698402083378_book.jpg?v=1698478467","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/an-african-perspective-on-the-thought-of-benedict-xvi-9781587310447","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
