Vatican says Pope’s second instalment on "Life of Christ "ready

( May, 11, 2010) The Vatican said that Pope Benedict XVI has finished writing the second instalment on the life of Jesus Christ, though it will be several months before the volume hits bookstores. A Vatican statement Monday said the work focuses on the passion and resurrection of Jesus. The first instalment, which offered a personal meditation on the life and teachings of Jesus, went on sale in 2007 and became a best-seller.
The Vatican said the new text has been given to both - a publisher in Germany and the official Vatican publisher,Libreria Editrice Vaticana, which will provide other publishers with the text for translation from the Pope's original German. The book's release will take a few months because the Vatican says it wants simultaneous release in the main languages.
