Jesus of Nazareth – The Illustrated Edition

Jesus of Nazareth The Illustrated Edition

This illustrated edition of the bold, momentous book written by Pope Benedict XVI is beautifully adorned with reproductions of classic works by a veritable pantheon of classic painters—from Tiepolo to Chagall. Begun before his election to the papacy, the book contains masterfully cogent and accessible essays on the life of Jesus, including his baptism, his temptation in the desert, the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord’s Prayer, the disciples, the parables, the principal images of John’s Gospel, Peter’s confession and Jesus’s Transfiguration, and Jesus’s two self-descriptions, "Son of Man" and "Son." Pope Benedict XVI responds to the revisionist historical literature that makes Jesus a man of his time and place, and he discusses recent archaeological, historical, anthropological, and sociological research. As sensitive as it is erudite and brilliant, this edition is lavishly illustrated with handsome reproductions of classical depictions of Jesus by a roster of eminent artists, including Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Veronese, Bellini, Kandinsky, Gauguin, Matisse, and many others.

5 Stars Gorgeous
I have the audiobook edition of "Jesus of Nazareth" and wanted a printed edition for reference. I keep going back to it, again and again. The illustrated edition had just become available, so I opted for it and was amazing at received so beautiful a book at that price. I leave it out on the coffee table, show it to everyone, recommend it to anyone who'll listen, etc. It's a perfect gift for a Christian friend or relative. In fact, the reproductions are so gorgeous, you might forget to read this amazing work, and that would be a huge mistake.
