Book Reviews of Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration
Book Review: A Remarkably Brilliant Look at Jesus for All to Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not know what to expect when delving into Pope Benedict's writing on Jesus. Although growing up as a Roman Catholic, I have been Protestant for 20 years. Almost immediately, I was impressed by the Pope's writing style and in depth analysis of Jesus of Nazareth. This is truly a book for everyone, regardless of religious affiliation or background.
The Pope writes about Jesus with the knowledge and consideration of a theologian and Bible scholar who has read with interest the plethora of scholarship available and has formed his own reasoned and faithful views. These views he conveys thoughtfully in simple language and style that offers insights and depth for the scholarly readers and plain teachings for lay readers and those learning about Jesus for the first time.
His introduction sets the scene of the landscape in which he writes about a topic that has been the most fully scrutinized in history. He has considered the critics, the facts, the obvious, the subjective and objective views on Jesus. He shares with readers a faith-inspired Jesus who he believes is also the Jesus of history. The Pope's image of Jesus is one compatible with objective historical analysis and Christian faith.
He walks readers through the major events and themes of the early parts of Jesus' life and ministry. He shares considerable insights based on his own faith and analysis, as well as drawing from scholars of all ages including the early Fathers. To many western readers, the Pope will introduce a different perspective from the East, Europe and the early church.
I especially appreciated his writing on the Sermon on the Mount, The Lord's Prayer, the images of John's gospel and the identify of Jesus. His teaching is conguent with what I have learned as a Protestant and at an Anglican seminary. I encourage you to read this book.
