I can't verify this information personally but Salt and Light TV heard the news bite, and it sounds right, that one of the books Benedict XVI will be reading in his retirement is W.T. Dickens' Hans Urs von Balthasar's Theological Aesthetics: A Model for Post-Critical Biblical Interpretation (UND Press, 2003).Dr. Dickens also published a journal article in The Heythrop Journal, "The Liturgical Shaping of Biblical Interpretation" (March 2012; Vol. 53, Is 2; pp. 191-203).
W.T. Dickens earned his doctorate at Yale, was a visiting professor at Cornell University and is now the Chair of Religious Studies at Siena College.
