Pope Benedict's book on Jesus.
Sounds like he's going to (among other things)
- Denounce abuse of the Historical-Critical method
- Denounce the false dichotomy between the "historical Jesus" and "Jesus of faith"
- Denounce false conceptions of Jesus that deny His divinity by fitting Him to a procrustean bed of modern or postmodern thought
- Call for proper use of the Historical-Critical method and other modern exegetical techniques
- Proclaim the reality of Jesus' presence in history
- Call modern man to hail Jesus as true God and true man
Should be a good book. Don't forget - in the above link you can read Pope Benedict's preface to the book, in German, or translated into English if you'd like.
