Dive into the life and mind of one of the most influential Catholic figures of our time. Cardinal Angelo Scola: Biography and Theological Background offers a compelling journey through the personal, intellectual, and spiritual development of Cardinal Scola—from his humble beginnings in Italy to his rise as a leading voice in global Catholic theology. This richly detailed biography explores the theological foundations that shaped his vision—phenomenology, personalism, and ecclesiology—and reveals how these ideas have influenced the modern Church's response to contemporary challenges.

Blending rigorous scholarship with engaging narrative, this book illuminates Scola's unique ability to bridge tradition and modernity, intellect and faith, doctrine and pastoral care. For anyone interested in the future of Catholic thought, the inner workings of the Church, or the profound questions of faith and identity in the modern world, Ollie Newman's work is an essential and inspiring read.
