Book Review of Jesus of Nazareth

Miss Tara Peters has written a review of Pope Benedict XVI's most recent work, Jesus of Nazareth, which will appear in the Library newsletter. The following extract is itself a review in miniature:

The Successor of St Peter has composed something remarkable in response to pickled relativism. Jesus of Nazareth confidently answers the questions of modern man with a purity of academic enquiry. The Holy Father has shared the fruits of his contemplation, and perhaps inadvertently, provided a valuable companion to works presently issuing from the Holy See. This volume concentrated upon events from Our Lord’s Baptism to His Transfiguration. These events are telling signposts for an introduction to the Prophet whom men would heed, and know face to face. We await the concluding volume with great enthusiasm.
