Benedict XVI is a great theologian, and he wrote this little volume after a lifetime of scholarship, reflection, and getting to know Jesus. I think he is our best guide to Jesus. I highly recommend not only this volume on the infancy narratives but his other two volumes entitled "Jesus of Nazareth." He provides a wealth of insights.

Pope Benedict writes iusing a straightforward and well reasoned approach. It is tiring to read experts standing off by a couple thousand years applying an overly confident historical critical approach to the bible. This is what good balance looks like.

This book is spot on for what I was looking for in a book written by a Pope on the Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke. What a beautiful book! I find Pope Benedict easy to understand. The questions I had with regard to Jesus' infancy were meaningful and brought me closer to our Lord.
