The Vatican today announced the official publication of a new book by Pope Benedict XVI, the second volume of the Pope’s planned 3-part work on Jesus of Nazareth.
Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection is being released in 7 different languages. Advance sales of the book have already exceeded 1 million copies. The book is available in electronic form as well as hardcover format.
In the new book, Pope Benedict relies on both his background as a renowned theologian and his deep personal faith to offer a portrait of Jesus. Although the book centers on the Crucifixion and Resurrection, the Pope draws on other important events in Jesus’ public ministry to illustrate Christ’s mission. Even as he shows his familiarity with the work of Scripture scholars and theologians, the Pope demonstrates that a full understanding of Jesus can be obtained only through the eyes of faith.
Available from Ignatius Press for $21.21 and paperback $14,41
