Pope Benedict did not intend to write a 'Life of Jesus', as there are other excellent works on the subject, but rather a theological treatise on the mysteries of Jesus' life. The author himself makes clear that his desire was to illustrate the 'figure and the message' to find a real Jesus, only after which it becomes possible a 'christology from below'. In this second part we meet the words and decisive events in the life of the Lord, and Pope Benedict has tried to develop a look about him that he could become meeting and listening, to arrive at the certainty of the historical figure. The book will be helpful to all readers who want to meet Jesus and believe him.
