Frustrated by a flurry of popularity surrounding what he sees as a false idea of Jesus, Pope Benedict XVI, in his latest book since becoming pontiff, and the first to be published in English, is seeking to uncover and lead readers to the true “Jesus of the Gospels.”
Set to be released in October of this year, On the Way to Jesus Christ, is being published by San Francisco’s Ignatius Press.
According to the publisher, the Pope’s new book is “designed for the believer and the non-believer alike.”
It “unveils”, they say, “the true Jesus of the Gospels, the one who was crucified for His ‘unpopular’ ideas of so many years ago. The real Jesus and His real teachings still cause discomfort and unease today.”
