Indeed, Benedict maintains that the evidence, fairly considered, brings us face-to-face with the challenge of Jesus-a real man who taught and acted in ways that were tantamount to claims of divine authority, claims not easily dismissed as lunacy or deception. Who was responsible for his death? . And, most importantly, did Jesus really rise from the dead and what does his resurrection mean? "Only in this second volume do we encounter the decisive sayings and events of Jesus' life . Benedict XVI presents this challenge in his new book, Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection, the sequel volume to Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration. How should we? In the end, he dares readers to grapple with the meaning of Jesus' life, teaching, death, and resurrection. . Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, and no myth, revolutionary, or misunderstood prophet, insists Benedict XVI. Did he establish a Church to carry on his work? For non-Christians, he is almost anything else-a myth, a political revolutionary, a prophet whose teaching was misunderstood or distorted by his followers. He thinks that the best of historical scholarship, while it can't "prove" Jesus is the Son of God, certainly doesn't disprove it. Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week, From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the ResurrectionSequel to Pope Benedict's first Jesus of Nazareth bookCovers the decisive events of Our Lord's lifeShows that Jesus is Who He said He was-and nothing lessFor Christians, Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, and who rose from the dead in triumph over sin and death. Benedict 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's heart. Why was Jesus rejected by the religious leaders of his day? How did Jesus view his suffering and death? The story of Jesus raises many crucial questions. I hope that I have been granted an insight into the figure of Our Lord that can be helpful to all readers who seek to encounter Jesus and to believe in Him." - Pope Benedict XVI , Jesus of Nazareth - Holy Week, from the Entrance into Jerusalem to Resurrection by Pope Benedict XVI
