Erik Peterson (1890–1960) was a German patristics scholar and a convert to Roman Catholicism. His technical scholarship on early Christianity is still cited by scholars today. His theological legacy in recent years has been receiving due attention as the distinctive voice of “an outsider,” and for its contribution to the renewal of Catholic theology prior to the Second Vatican Council. At a symposium in Rome in October 2010, on the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Pope Benedict XVI paid tribute to him and spoke of the role Peterson played in his own theological formation. The papers from the [End Page 175] symposium have now been published as Erik Peterson—La presenza teologica di un outsider, G. Caronello, ed. (Vatican City: Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2013).
