Corrective

I will have to reread this book several times. It is a wonderful antidote to the stuff we studied after the Vatican Council. Though much of the stuff was exciting, I sensed that some "theologians" were convinced that the scriptures meant anything other than what they actually said. Christianity taught witout content is a major problem in the Church.
The Holy Father is a gifted theologian and teacher, who can explain church teachings in a convincing way. I wish I had him as a teacher but my latin was not that good. His books provide the good theology needed for a sound spiritual life.
This book is a wonderful gift for educated Catholics who have neglected their education in theology and the contemplative tradition of the Church. The book is corrective and refreshing in that it written by a man who understands the scriptures, the Greek philosophers, and the Fathers of the Church.
The pressure to make the Catholic Church like all the others is illustrated in the innane comments in the media-parrallels some of the liberal theologians.

A pleasant change

Although I learn much at my parish thru sermons and the occasional "special topics" seminars, I purchased this book to learn more about Jesus and his few years of ministry and public life. I wanted to have something to answer to the critics, to counter some of the nonsense about Jesus.

Before I read "Jesus of Nazareth", I wondered how Jesus fulfilled so many promises in such a short time while on earth. It doesn't say in the book if He had a list - but I certainly would have needed one. It turns out He was fulfilling promises made long-ago by his Father that were recorded in a few good books. You might have heard of them: Genesis, Exodus, etc. After his short public life, Jesus' words and actions laid the groundwork for the next books that would follow.

This book won't teach you how to debate a critic of religion. But you might learn enough to be able to smile back at them with a quiet satifaction that only knowledge and truth can provide.

So, go ahead and smile.

His perspectives on Jesus are amazing

Incredible Story Of How One Holy Individual Discovered Who Jesus Is

As a Christian I read two types of books...Leadership and Christian. There are MANY books written about personal reflections of who Jesus is. There are very few, if any, that base their personal beliefs on the words of Christ himself, as He told us through His own Words. This is an awesome journey through the Bible, old and new Testaments, to witness who really was this "Man" called Jesus. If you believe in the Bible you cannot go wrong reading this book. If you believe in Jesus you will gain additional insights into who He really was. If you are just interested to learn more about Christianity, this book will not disappoint.
