On the Way to Jesus Christ

"On the Way to Jesus Christ is a series of meditations that Pope Benedict XVI wrote while he was Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The true Jesus, he writes, is the Jesus of the Gospels, who "is quite different, demanding, bold. The Jesus who makes everything OK for everyone is a phantom, a dream, not a real figure. The Jesus of the Gospels is certainly not convenient for us. But it is precisely in this way that be answers the deepest question of our existence, which - whether we want to or not - keeps us on the look-out for God, for a gratification that is limitless, for the infinite. We must again set out on the way to this real Jesus."" "This book also examines whether Jesus Christ is the only savior and whether the Church has a responsibility to evangelize. It concludes with reflections on Jesus' Presence in the Holy Eucharist, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church's presentation of the Christian mystery as seen through the Catechism's dynamic view of Sacred Scripture." "On the Way to Jesus Christ is for anyone - believer or unbeliever - who wants better to understand the true Jesus, the Jesus of the Gospels, the Christ of Christianity."--BOOK JACKET.Ratzinger, Joseph is the author of 'On the Way to Jesus Christ', published 0016 under ISBN 9781586171247 and ISBN 1586171240.
