The author criticizes the bad habit of calling the works of theologian J. Ratzinger anachronically by the name of Benedict XVI.
The fundamental questions of Ratzinger''s theology of history are: the relation between time and eternity; the historical conception of theology and the new method in Chritian theology; the question of the political relevance of the soteriology. Certain place ist dedicated also to the Ratzinger''s work about Bonaventure''s theology of history.
