Jesus of Nazareth
Author: Pope Benedict XVI
Now in Paperback, with a new Index!
In this bold, momentous work, Joseph Ratzinger—in his first book written since he became Pope—seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent “popular” depictions and to restore Jesus’ true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and invites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith.
From
Jesus of Nazareth: “the great question that will be with us throughout
this entire book: What did Jesus actually bring, if not world peace, universal
prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought?
The answer is very simple: God. He has brought God! He has brought the God who
formerly unveiled his countenance gradually first to Abraham, then to Moses
and the Prophets, and then in the Wisdom Literature—the God who revealed
his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in
various shadowy guises. It is this God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
the true God, whom he has brought to the peoples of the earth.
He
has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we
know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought
God and with God the truth about where we are going and where we come from:
faith, hope, and love.”
“Joseph Ratzinger was a world-class theologian long before he became the
Roman Curia’s official defender of Catholic doctrine, and then the pope.
In Jesus of Nazareth, Ratzinger reveals the core of his personality as he invites
his readers into the classroom of a master teacher—one who has absorbed
the best that modern biblical scholarship has to offer and has yet emerged from
that encounter with his faith intact and enriched.”
