SynopsisPope Benedict XVI's iconic life of Jesus, a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of the central figure of the Christian faith. "This book is . . . my personal search 'for the face of the Lord.'"--Benedict XVI In this bold, momentous work, the Pope seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from today's "popular" depictions and to restore his true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope incites us to encounter Jesus face to face. From Jesus of Nazareth : ". . . the great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: But what has Jesus really brought, then, if he has not brought 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 once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature--the God who showed 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, of Isaac, and of 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.", Pope Benedict XVI's iconic life of Jesus, a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of the central figure of the Christian faith.

Too fundamentalist
As much as I respect Ratzinger as the Pope he used to be, I have a a problem with his too literilist interpretation of scripture. He draws heavily on germon sources too the expense of a more globel understanding which one would expect from the pope. He draws numerous parallels between the old and new testaments, which at times seem a bit stretched. Nevertheless, his scholarship and knowledge of scripture is outstanding. Albeit drawn heavily from German sources, as one would expect. In my opinion, he is too literalist in his treatment of scripture, and draws too heavily on old testament scripture to support the new. Overall, this book is a sound achievement in exceges, but short on spirit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
