A look at the "real Jesus". Already in the preface to the first volume, Pope Benedict XVI had said that he wished to illustrate the figure and message of Jesus "By exaggerating a bit '- says the holy father - one could say that I wanted to find the real Jesus." "I tried - continued - to develop a look at the Jesus of the Gospels and listening to him that he could become a meeting and yet, listening in communion with the disciples of Jesus of all time, also come to the certainty of truly historical figure of Jesus This task was even harder in the second half than in the first, for only the second meet in the words and decisive events in the life of Jesus.

The dirt of the world is actually absorbed, annulled, transformed by the pain of the infinite. " This radical transformation occurs at the time of the resurrection of Jesus - he added - "is a sort of 'decisive change' (...), a quantum leap." In it "has reached a new chance to be a man, a possibility that interest all ". Angensir
