A luminous work by the Pope, now available in paperback, which presents in a fresh and inspiring way the person of Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, by examining what Scripture says about him. Pope Benedict successfully corrects certain erroneous tendencies in modern biblical scholarship which have diminished our confidence in the reliability of Scripture and in our ability to know Jesus through it. He offers instead a powerful re-affirmation of the divinity of Christ and fresh understanding of his teachings.
