Loading... Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfigurationby Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger (Author)
DVD - 382 min Pope Benedict XVI seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent “popular” depictions and to restore Jesus’ true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Very readable and highly recommendable, incorporating scholarly precision with down-to-earth Christian faith. A pleasure and a blessing to read! Thank God for biblical scholars and Churchmen like Benedikt XVI. It reminds me a lot of the Roman Catholic, who in Worms judged: "Then the Lutherans are in the Bible and we are outside." Well, I think Pope Benedikt XVI is doing his fair share of getting RC right back into the Holy Bible and the Holy Bible into RC. If you are looking for a good present for Thanksgiving or Christmas - here is a good choice! An excellent answer by the most prominent figure in Christendom to the proponents of the historical-critical method and their false assumptions. Powerful. There is a place - possibly a need - for a careful synthesis of the best of the Patristic heritage as it might communicate Classic Christian understanding of the Christ in a world which has lost any sense of the Patristic framework of thought and of respect for its authority: this book is not that - but it is hugely closer to it than might have been expected from the Cardinal Ratzinger who has spent the last fifty years detaching himself from the 'nouvelle théologie' from which this book really feeds; and when and if such a book is produced it will be far closer to this one than perhaps its author will intend. Read it - but keep on thinking for yourself. no reviews | add a review
