Description: In this bold, momentous work, the Pope-in his first book written as Benedict XVI-seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent popular depictions and to restore Jesus' true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith. "As tender as it is erudite and brilliant." -Booklist.
