Andrew Cusack speaks to Professor Jacob Phillips, about the theological legacy of Benedict XVI, from his lifelong engagement with history and the Second Vatican Council to where a reader might begin with his work today. The conversation moves from Newman and the German Anglophile tradition to whether England remains a post-Christian country, and from the ethics of assisted dying to migration and the balance between love of neighbour and love of nation.
