JESUS OF NAZARETH: HOLY WEEK: FROM THE ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM TO THE RESURRECTION

Abstract

Joseph Ratzinger, the 265th Pontiff assuming the title Pope Benedict XVI was a German Theologian and lecturer before he moved to the Vatican to first work as Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith. He was also President of Biblical Commission and Pontifical Theological Commission. In 2002 he became Dean of the college of Cardinals before being elected successor of Peter on 19th April 2005. As a prominent Theologian of his time, Ratzinger has written widely and his new book is a second volume in a three volume series. The latter volume, which is yet to be published, would focus on the Infancy Narrative of Jesus. Whilst, the first volume of Jesus of Nazareth was based on: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration, Pope Benedict XVI in his second volume, Jesus of Nazareth, focuses on the Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection.
