As part of Communio’s ongoing reflection on Pope Benedict XVI’s book Jesus of Nazareth, the current issue presents two articles that consider the relation between exegesis and theology.
In Jesus of Nazareth and the Renewal of New Testament Theology, the exegete Denis Farkasfalvy interprets Benedict’s contribution against the backdrop of the “enormous problems Catholic theology faces as an aftermath of its almost unlimited and often uncritical consumption of modern biblical scholarship.” While demonstrating the importance and the necessity of the historical-critical method when used competently and responsibly, Pope Benedict “wants to help modern Gospel studies reset their focus not just on Christology but on the sonship of Jesus as the ultimate reality on which the validity of every statement of the Gospels—in fact, in all the New Testament—depends.”
In The Challenge of Jesus of Nazareth for Theologians,
Roch Kereszty begins from Pope Benedict’s own description of the book as “an expression of my personal search ‘for the face of the Lord.’” Kereszty makes two interrelated points: first, Benedict interprets the Jesus of the Gospels as “the real, ‘historical,’ Jesus in
the strict sense of the word.” Secondly, “[t]he glory of Jesus’ divinity . . . shines not in lofty, other-worldly scenes, but in the Cross, where he will reveal his love to the end and draw all to himself. For this reason, every intimation of Jesus’ divine status and communion with
the Father is linked to . . . his invitation to discipleship.” Kereszty summarizes the challenge of the Pope’s book as follows: “if the ultimate Truth is ultimate love, if God invites us to share in his own life of love, then theologians should articulate all the mysteries of
faith in such a way as to present the concrete shape and form of this invitation and participation. Theological knowledge, in other words, should lead us to Christian life and union with God.”
