At the heart of this book is a seminar held forty years ago at the University of Bologna, where students wrestled with \u003cem\u003eThe Beneficio di Cristo\u003c\/em\u003e, the incendiary sixteenth-century text that questioned Church authority and championed salvation through grace alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a neatly packaged historical study, however—it is an unfiltered look at the errors and insights that emerge in the collective process of reading and debating a text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough shifting hypotheses and the sheer unpredictability of research, \u003cem\u003ePatience Games\u003c\/em\u003e dismantles the illusion of scholarship as a sterile pursuit, revealing instead a messy, deeply human endeavour.
