Jesus of Nazareth is the first volume in Pope Benedict XVI's three-volume meditation on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The first book authored by Benedict since his ascension to the papacy, it was published by Doubleday in 2007. In the book's introduction, the pope explicitly states that the treatise is in "no way an exercise of the magisterium," but rather an "expression of his personal search for the face of the Lord." It is not, however, primarily meditational or part of the genre of "edifying literature", but more directly the book of a theologian, concluding the scientific work of Prof. Ratzinger.Jesus of Nazareth's ten chapters cover the bulk of Jesus' public ministry, encompassing subjects and events such as Christ's baptism at the hands of John the Baptist, the Sermon on the Mount, the meaning of the parables, the Calling of the Twelve, the Confession of Peter, and the Transfiguration. The book stops short of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and subsequent Passion and Resurrection, which are the primary topics of the second volume, Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week, which was published on March 15, 2011. The third and final volume, Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives was published on November 21, 2012.
