Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, and no myth, revolutionary, or misunderstood prophet, insists Benedict XVI. He thinks that the best of historical scholarship, while it can't "prove" Jesus is the Son of God, certainly doesn't disprove it. Indeed, Benedict maintains that the evidence, fairly considered, brings us face-to-face with the challenge of Jesus-a real man who taught and acted in ways that were tantamount to claims of divine authority, claims not easily dismissed as lunacy or deception.

I started out on this particular project with the intention of including sermons for all the major annual Christian festivals in just one volume, but Advent, Christmas and Epiphany occupied nearly 170 pages which I consider enough for one book, so that was Volume One, and this is Volume Two, a collection of sermons for Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost, preached over a period of ministry spanning forty years. Some of the contents in this book are brief and not really sermons as such. Sometimes they would be part of a service which included various choral works, or a service which included ...
