Nejnovější díl trilogie Josepha Ratzingera – Benedikta XVI. přináší výklad příběhů Ježíšova dětství v Matoušově a Lukášově evangeliu. Autor jej čtenářům předkládá jako prolog k dílům, věnovaným Ježíšovu veřejnému působení (I. díl) a jeho utrpení, smrti a zmrtvýchvstání (II. díl). Překvapivě čtivě a srozumitelně sleduje a porovnává způsoby, jimiž oba evangelisté už na událostech Ježíšova dětství ukazují, že v Ježíši se naplňují dějiny spásy. Otázka, co chtěli sdělit autoři evangelií, se v papežově exegezi opět prolíná s otázkou univerzálního i individuálního významu biblických textů, jejich pravdy pro přítomnost a budoucnost. Kniha je na jedné straně určena široké veřejnosti – k meditaci o Ježíšově narození, o místech, postavách a dějích s ním spjatých je zván každý otevřený čtenář. Zároveň zaznamenává celou škálu reakcí v odborných kruzích – zejména argumentací ohledně historické substance Matoušových a Lukášových textů o Ježíšově dětství rozčeřil Benedikt XVI. hladinu debat o exegezi a teologii dnes.

Benedetto XVI affronta il mistero di Gesù di Nazaret concentrandosi, in questo libro, sulla seconda parte della sua vita, dall'ingresso a Gerusalemme alla trasfigurazione sul Monte Tabor. Un arco esistenziale e una parabola spirituale in cui emergono le narrazioni fondamentali della vita del Nazareno, ognuna delle quali rappresenta uno stimolo per affrontare questioni teologiche dai profondi risvolti umani. Al centro della ricostruzione, eseguita interrogando anche fonti alternative, è il Gesù dei Vangeli: una prospettiva che ne sottolinea la grandezza, i gesti e le parole che hanno oltrepassato le aspettative e le categorie della sua epoca, e, allo stesso tempo, la sua vicinanza, la sua concretezza e sensatezza storica.

This book is an utterly brilliant example of Benedict XVI at his very best . As a Christian apologist and exegete he rightly holds the highest position in the Church but as a teacher and intellectual evangelist he also excels . His deep understanding, novel insights, and clear exposition, make his work easy and rewarding to read . Anyone wanting an introduction to his work should read this and savour it . Anyone wanting an introduction to Christian thought should buy it. His literary skills alone, which transcend translation, are very considerable and enjoyable in their own right . His forensic examination of historical and theological arguments, his breadth of reading, and his ability to bring new conclusions to light are a joy .
