The Pope completes his immensely successful and well-received portrait of Jesus of Nazareth with this last volume. Benedict XVI uses all his years of scholarship, prayer and reflection to show how the Christmas story is the beginning of the central event of human history, the Incarnation. Continuing his previous work to balance the search for a so-called historical Jesus with a search that treats the Gospels as historically reliable, he shows how the life of Jesus from its very beginning, was the supreme expression of God's love for humanity.In his inimitably clear, readable and lucid style, the Pope looks at the hugely important figures of St Joseph and the Virgin Mary, at the birth of Jesus as the fulfilment of God's promises to the Jewish people, as well as the Epiphany and its promise of salvation for all and much more.This text, taken together with its two predecessors, both hugely popular best-sellers in their own right, helps to form a picture of Jesus as God's greatest gift, and draws to a close an extremely important work, both of biblical exegesis and of devotion.

Jesus of Nazareth - The Infancy Narratives by Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 14 de fevereiro de 2013

Recently I have had the honor of delving into this much awaited book. Before beginning I had completely read the New Testament several times, making it my Lenten study for a number of years. But I really hadn't thoroughly studied the Old Testament.

Pope Benedict XVI's analysis all through the text gave me a greater understanding of how events before the birth of Christ were preparing and leading up to the moment of Jesus' birth and mission on earth for us for all time.

Chapter I gets right to the heart of Jesus coming to earth with the question titled "Where Are You From? (John 19:9). Pope Benedict XVI goes into specific detail to answer this question and likewise all through the book by using biblical sources from the Old Testament and New Testament.

In Chapter II - The Annunciation of the Birth of John the Baptist and the Annunciation of the Birth of Jesus, I learned the most about the genealogical background of John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth from reading and studying this chapter. It brought together in my mind how events of Jesus' birth were predicted in Old Testament text.

Chapter III - The Birth of Jesus in Bethlehem expounds on the nativity story in Luke's Gospel in the New Testament - history, theology, and presentation of Jesus in the Temple. Pope Benedict XVI begins by pointing out that for the first time in history there is a common form of communication in the world - the Roman language, and therefore diverse peoples can talk with one another. Pope Benedict XVI points out that the word ecumene (with horizontal accents over the 2nd and 3rd letter e) is used in the text to describe this expanded government and Roman empire.

Chapter IV - The Wise Men from the East and the Flight into Egypt describes the historical setting and geographical location. The chapter traces back the lineage of King David as being born in Bethlehem, which Pope Benedict XVI considers to have a theological significance. Then there are the questions of who The Magi were, the significance of The Star, about Jerusalem - Stopping Point On The Journey, and two more subtitles - The Worship Of The Wise Men Before Jesus, and Flight Into Egypt And Return To The Land Of Israel.

The Epilogue called The Twelve-Year-Old Jesus in the Temple shows us that Jesus took his role of Son of God seriously, even though his mission was to open a new avenue for us to feel close to our Heavenly Father. To me it is poignant to hear the words of Jesus to his parents after they had been looking for him "I am in the very place where I belong - with the Father, in his house."

I like that Pope Benedict XVI has chosen to delve into the early childhood of Jesus and help us better understand his role as both human and Divine, and how Jesus, too, at this age understood his role.

I recommend this book to sincere followers of Jesus of Nazareth.

Another great book by Papa Ratzinger

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Pope's reflections on the Infancy Narratives. Perfect, as I was preparing for the Christmas homilies. Many great insights, e.g.:

on the dream of Joseph:
"Once again Joseph is presented to us, in quite practical terms, as a “just” man: his inner watchfulness for God, which enables him to receive and understand the message, leads quite spontaneously to obedience. Even if hitherto he had puzzled over his various options, now he knows what the right course of action is. Being a just man he follows God’s commands, as Psalm 1 says."

Or on Caesar Augustus:
"Luke intends to say that what Caesar Augustus claimed for himself is realized in a loftier way in the defenseless and powerless child born in a Bethlehem cave and visited by poor shepherds. Reiser rightly emphasizes that at the heart of both messages is peace, and that the Pax Christi is not necessarily opposed to the Pax Augusti. Yet the peace of Christ surpasses the peace of Augustus as heaven surpasses earth (cf. Wie wahr, p. 460). Hence the juxtaposition of these two forms of peace need not be seen in a one-sidedly polemical way. Augustus truly brought “peace, security of law and prosperity for 250 years, which many countries of the former Roman Empire can only dream of today” (ibid., p. 458). Politics retains its own sphere of competence and responsibility. And yet when Caesar claims divine status and divine attributes, politics oversteps its boundaries and makes promises that it cannot deliver.

"The kingdom that Jesus proclaimed, the kingdom of God, is of another kind. It applies not just to the Mediterranean region and not just to a particular era. It applies to man in the depths of his being, and it opens him toward the true God. The peace of Jesus is a peace that the world cannot give (cf. Jn 14: 27). Ultimately, the question here is what redemption, liberation and salvation actually mean. One thing is clear, though: Augustus belongs to the past, Jesus Christ on the other hand is the present and the future— he is “the same yesterday and today and for ever” (Heb 13: 8)."

And on Christ as a sign of contradiction:
"We are not talking about the past here. We all know to what extent Christ remains a sign of contradiction today, a contradiction that in the final analysis is directed at God. God himself is constantly regarded as a limitation placed on our freedom, that must be set aside if man is ever to be completely himself. God, with his truth, stands in opposition to man’s manifold lies, his self-seeking and his pride. God is love. But love can also be hated when it challenges us to transcend ourselves."

insights and perspective from a great thinker

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 17 de dezembro de 2012

Here's what the Pope writes in the forward:

"It is not a third volume, but a kind of small "antechamber" to the two earlier volumes on the figure and the message of Jesus of Nazareth. I have set out here, in dialogue with exegetes past and present, to interpret what Matthew and Luke say about Jesus' infancy at the beginning of their Gospels."

So, the third volume of the Pope's wonderful work, but as he says, not really a volume; more a short monograph or extended essay. The book is only 128 pages long.

The infancy narratives are more controversial than the body of the Gospels (Mark and John have no infancy stories) because they are not based on the apostolic witness, and many interpreters view them as more theological constructs with a goal of linking the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) to the body of the Gospel witness.

Benedict offers his insights as he looks at various interpretations, and spells out his own academic opinions, which he makes clear are not dogmatic statements - simply his own reflections.

The Pope covers everything, from the two annunciations (to Mary in Luke and Joseph in Matthew) to Luke's story of Jesus being lost in the Temple. I found his insights and thoughts on Mary especially interesting.

He will often sum up his reflections with a preliminary statement, like this one, on page 118, after his discussion of the Three Wise Men (The Magi):

"... the question arises, how are we to understand all this? Are we dealing with history that actually took place, or is it merely a theological meditation, persented under the guise of stories?"

He then states, in quoting another scripture scholar (and he agrees with this sentiment):

"'No foundations would be shaken if it were simply an invention of Matthew's based on a theological idea.'"

What is the Pope's personal opinion on this? Well, get the book.

I am going to dig out some of my old books by the American scripture scholar Raymond Brown and compare the two men's thoughts, which will agree on some points and disagree on others.

Jesus of Nazareth [Vol I]: The Infancy Narratives

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 7 de agosto de 2014

In what amounts to Vol I of a three volume work (though NOT the first written), Benedict XVI continues to debunk not-so-scholarly scholars who would attempt to use biblical criticism to debunk the Faith!

The four chapters of this work cover "WHERE ARE YOU FROM", THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE BIRTH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST AND THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS, THE BIRTH OF JESUS IN BETHLEHEM, and THE WISE MEN FROM THE EAST AND THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT. The Epilogue covers THE TWELVE YEAR OLD JESUS IN THE TEMPLE.

I found this volume to be deceptively thin. It is NOT quick, easy beach reading. Benedict evidences profound insights in each paragraph.

After " Volume II "'S intro, AN INITIAL REFLECTION ON THE MYSTERY OF JESUS, Benedict XVI follows with chapters on THE BAPTISM OF JESUS and THE TEMPTATIONS OF JESUS. Specifically discussing Jesus' temptation by the devil in the latter, he notes in a seemingly wry manner: "The devil proves to be a Bible expert who can quote the Psalm exactly. The whole conversation of the second temptation takes the form of a dispute between two Bible scholars. Remarking on this passage, Jonathan Gnilka says that the devil presents himself here as a theologian....The alleged findings of scholarly exegesis have been used to put together the most dreadful books that destroy the figure of Jesus and dismantle the faith" (p. 35). Wow!

The third chapter focuses on THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, while the fourth Chapter is dedicated to THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, the fifth to THE LORD'S PRAYER, the sixth to THE DISCIPLES, the seventh to THE MESSAGE OF THE PARABLES, the eighth to THE PRINCIPAL IMAGES OF JOHN'S GOSPEL, the ninth to TWO MILESTONES ON JESUS' WAY: PETER'S CONFESSION AND THE TRANSFIGURATION, and the final chapter to JESUS DECLARES HIS IDENTITY.
