  Abstract:  The Eastern Church Fathers in Pope Benedict XVI’s (Joseph Ratzinger) Christology. The present study focuses on the Joseph Ratzinger’s Christological teaching as developed in his trilogy Jesus of Nazareth. My contribution is to state a possible closeness to the Orthodox theology through the Pope Benedict XVI’s use of Eastern Church Fathers’ teachings. The citation of a variety of Easter Fathers in his Christological trilogy, from St. John Chrysostom to St. Maximus the Confessor, offers it an ecumenical dimension. The insights of Church Fathers are valuable perspectives that facilitate a living encounter with Christ in the frame of the Church.

Keywords: christology, methodology, Eastern Church Fathers, Jesus Christ, Joseph Ratzinger, Church, Bible, historical Jesus, hermeneutics, teachings.
