Pope finishes trilogy on Jesus Christ's life


(August 03, 2012) Pope Benedict XVI has finished the third volume of his "Jesus of Nazareth" trilogy on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, the Vatican said on Thursday. A publication date will be set once the book has been translated into several languages from his native German, the Vatican said in a statement. It said the third and final volume focuses on Jesus Christ's childhood. The 85-year old Pontiff has devoted considerable time in office to writing the major three-part study. The first volume appeared in 2007 and looked at events in Jesus' adult life and public ministry. In the second book, which came out in 2011 and focused on the last week of Jesus' life, the pope condemned violence committed in God's name and personally exonerated Jews of responsibility for Christ's death.
