Abstract

144

The address given by Benedict XVI in Regensburg on 12th September 2006 is well known - as are the diverse answers and reactions that occurred. Some people consider this to be a response to what happened on 11th September 2001. However, if we read the text we discover that the issue of reason and faith is not the only theme that is mentioned, and it may not even be the most important theme that is addressed in the speech. If we read the text in its context, we will realise that Benedict XVI not only delivered a talk in the Great Hall of the University, but that he also made reference to reason, faith and love in other speeches on that day. All the Regensburg speeches have a special unitary meaning. These are the three main themes of that apparently tranquil day, which could serve as an introduction to many other issues. If we take these main themes into account as a starting point, we could use them to tackle some more profound matters such as the relationship between reason and revelation, the importance of classical Greece or the importance of reason and philosophy in Christianity.
