review 1: In this second volume, the Pope continues his magnificent work that he began in the original volume.In this second volume, Pope Benedict (previously Cardinal Ratzinger) focuses his attention on Holy Week and the last actions of Jesus. What is amazing about this book is the Pope's ability to not only engage with scholarship, but to engage with faith as well. Scholars such as N.T. Wright and J.Dunn are able to write wonderful scholarly books about Jesus, but their works do not build up one's faith as well as engage with the scholarly tradition. The Pope is able to do this.The writing style is very accessible and this book (as well as the previous volume and the the following volume) present the reader with a very thorough reading of the gospels.Gra... morede: A
review 2: This is the second of the Pope's trilogy on the life of Jesus. I loved the first and this one is even better. I learnt so much from it - it is scholarly, devotional, biblical and Christ-centred. The section on Jesus saying 'this is my body' was particularly helpful to me. I am not a Roman Catholic and do not accept traditional catholic teaching on the mass - but what is said in this book makes a lot of sense and was personally very helpful to me. There is also one section where he teaches justification by faith (which was a bit of a surprise!). I highlighted so much of this book - that it looks like a rainbow! Highly highly recommended. Can't wait to get the third one...."The New Testament message is not simply an idea; essential to it is the fact that these events occurred in the history of this world; biblical faith does not recount stories as symbols of meta-historical truths; rather, it bases itself upon history that unfolded upon this earth." less
