The bilingual Preface (in Italian and English) is written by don Giuseppe Costa, director of LEV, who reviews the content of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI’s theological magisterium and the collaboration over the years between LEV and the emeritus Pope.
The homages are written by Richard A. Burridge, Waldemar Chrostowski, Manlio Simonetti, Brian E. Daley, Olegario González de Cardedal, Mario de França Miranda, Ioannis Kourempeles, Remi Brague, Maximilian Heim, Christian Schaller, Anne-Marie Pelletier, Nabil el-Khoury, and Inos Biffi [all are winners of the Ratzinger Prize in Theology].
