This collection of essays was born of a landmark international symposium designed to promote theological understanding by contextualizing the thought of Pope Francisfrom his understanding of history to his theology of missionwithin important theological conversations rarely heard in the US Catholic Church. Its contributors demonstrate decisively that Pope Franciss 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.
