It is perhaps a fitting book for Easter given that it focuses on the passion narratives. A brief summary of each chapter is as follows: 1. Considers Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and the `temple' incident. Most noticeably it considers how this narrative fits the Davidic prophetic narratives. 2. Jesus' eschatology - i.e. the destruction of the temple, and the new temple in his body. 3. The washing of the feet - i.e. how Jesus becomes the servant of everyone. This is considered in the light of the parable of the suffering servant. 4. Chapter 17 of John's Gospel, i.e. the prayer of forgiveness. This is the moment when Jesus finally says, `my time has come'. This chapter considers what this meant and what Jesus saw his mission as being. 5. Considers the last supper and the Eucharist rite which was given through it. It then considers how this rite has been passed on and has evolved throughout the church's history. 6. Considers the garden of Gethsemane narratives - i.e. that in the garden suffering, God becomes one with man's suffering. This chapter really focuses on the suffering of Jesus, knowing that he was approaching his final hours. In this way he comes to share in everyone's `fear' of dying. 7. The trial of Jesus - i.e. that the crime was not political and therefore Jesus was not just a failed political leader, but rather that the crime was religious, i.e. one of blasphemy. The blasphemy was that Jesus alluded to himself being God and his anti-temple talk. 8. Crucifixion and burial - i.e. the prayers which Jesus offers during his crucifixion. For example, `my God, my god, why have you forsaken me', is psalm 22, which is the prayer for Israel's forgiveness. Even in his final hours he still offers himself as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. 9. Considers resurrection - i.e. if it's just bodily resuscitation then it's not that impressive. This chapter argues that the resurrection was an `evolutionary leap' in which something wholly new occurred. 10. The second coming - is this in the future, or does has it already happened, daily... this chapter is actually truly and wholly heart warmly inspiring. Its focus is on how Jesus indwells in the individual and lights their heart with his presence. In this way he becomes the bridge between God and man. In the intro the Pope specifically says that his book is intended to offer a new historico-theological, rather than strictly historical, look at the passion narratives. The outcome is frankly amazing. I have read a lot of books on theology and actually this book ranks up there in the top brackets. Rarely do I sit back and think: this book makes me think completely different about Jesus, this book has really deepened my understanding - well, this book did it, and more than once. Usually I would offer a word of criticism on a book but in this books case it's positively difficult to do this - it really is that good a book. I terms of the book itself; it's possibly one of the Pope's better written books. The language style is easy to read and the print is nicely spaced not being too small or close together. The cover is a nice white cover with the papal crescent imprinted on the front - obviously it has a dust jacket which goes over this also. In total I couldn't recommend this book enough. It made me think in a new way and deepened my understanding of the last days of Jesus. I can only thank the Pope for actually taking the time to write this book because it truly was a great pleasure and experience to read. Overall, I couldn't recommend it enough. At the time of writing, Easter fast approaches and I would highly recommend this book to deepen your understanding of Easter and what it's deeper meaning is. Review: Encountering the Mystery of Holy Week - The second book in the much acclaimed ‘Jesus of Nazareth’ trilogy continues with the insight and clarity that is anticipated of the writings of Benedict XVI. Whilst written for a non-academic audience, this is an intellectually substantial book, and most readers will finish with a new insight into the familiar Gospel accounts of the sacred events that make up Holy Week. Relying upon the Scriptures, the Church Fathers, and contemporary scholarship, Benedict guides the reader into a deeper awareness of the Passion narrative, beginning at the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem and through to His crucifixion and resurrection. The approach adopted by Benedict towards the Gospel narratives is conservative but not fundamentalist, agreeing that there are benefits to the historical-critical method of reading Scripture whilst also recognizing its limitations. In contrast to those exegetes who prefer to spiritualize the account, particularly that of the bodily resurrection to the extent of reducing it to mere metaphor, Benedict recognises the historical accuracy of the Biblical narrative, whilst emphasizing the importance of viewing sacred history through the lens of theology. The Gospel writers were not simply presenting an historical account, but were writing to demonstrate the Messianic character of Jesus for the people of Israel and beyond. Details noted by the Evangelists that may seem of little consequence frequently take on an entire new significance when viewed with such perspective. It had never occurred to me, for example, that the seamless garment stripped from Christ had such priestly significance. A minor detail in the narrative, but one that will now be rich with meaning whenever I hear or read the Passion. Benedict’s theology is thoroughly Christocentric, and this radiates from these pages. The significance of Holy Week is the universal redemption of mankind by the outpouring of love from Christ on the Cross. The trend of liberal theologians to downplay the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus as relatively insignificant compared to His ministry is firmly resisted. Related to this is Benedict’s small but important section on who bears the responsibility for the death of Christ, sharply rebuking those who have through the centuries held the Jewish people responsible for the sin of Deicide. It is the sins of humanity which nailed Christ to the cross, and His blood, far from being a curse on any group, is the salvation for all. As noted, a minor section, but one that is significant in countering a particularly ugly form of antisemitism that has found perverse justification in the Holy Week texts. Benedict XVI has described the Jesus of Nazareth trilogy as his own ‘personal search for the face of the Lord’. I have little doubt that these books will be of enormous spiritual help for Christians seeking to do the same for many years to come. I chose to read ‘Holy Week’, appropriately, as part of my own Holy Week reflection and found to be extremely beneficial in entering deeper into the sacred week. It is a book that I intend to come back to in future years, and I have no doubt that I will encounter much more with each reading. ## Images ![Jesus of Nazareth: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41fCPNtGWUL._SX38_SY50_CR,0,0,38,50_.jpg) ![Jesus of Nazareth: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mSSElASSL._SX38_SY50_CR,0,0,38,50_.jpg) ![Jesus of Nazareth: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7139LluKVrL._SL1500_.jpg) ![Jesus of Nazareth: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7139LluKVrL._SY522_.jpg) ![Jesus of Nazareth: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714H6aDr+XL._SY522_.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly fantastic. *by M***D on 20 April 2011* This is the Pope's second book on Jesus of Nazareth.
