History will remember Pope Benedict XVI as one of the most brilliant teachers ever to sit on the Chair of Peter. As Archbishop Georg Gänswein recently remarked, Benedict’s greatest tool was the word, both spoken and written. Which raises the question: What was his greatest work?

Similarly, Light of the World fuelled convoluted debates about the use of condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS, and, quite honestly, interviews were not the optimal format for revealing Benedict’s genius . If we opt for an encyclical, Spe Salvi emerges as the most profound, but it would take another article to explain why.

Suffice it to say that Pope Benedict was convinced that, by examining the initial experience of Jesus’ Resurrection, His appearances to the Apostles, their earliest proclamation of the Lordship of Christ , and a careful consideration of how the gift of faith was transmitted and lived out continuously through different periods of history, we rediscover how to live fully as disciples today.
