Jesus of Nazareth – Holy Week (Volume II) PB

Description

Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, and no myth, revolutionary, or misunderstood prophet, insists Pope Benedict XVI. He thinks that the best of historical scholarship, while it can rsquo;t ldquo;prove rdquo; Jesus is the Son of God, certainly doesn rsquo;t disprove it.
Why was Jesus rejected by the religious leaders of his day? Who was responsible for his death? Did he establish a Church to carry on his work? How did Jesus view his suffering and death? How should we? And, most importantly, did Jesus really rise from the dead and what does his resurrection mean? The story of Jesus raises many crucial questions. Pope Benedict XVI brings to his study the vast learning of a brilliant scholar, the passionate searching of a great mind, and the deep compassion of a pastor rsquo;s heart.
