Geza vermes is an ex-catholic priest who has written a rather bitter review of Pope Benedict's book Jesus of Nazareth. Perhaps this is not suprising as Vermes has spent the last few decades trying to convice us that there is a difference between the Jesus of history and Christ of faith. In contrast, Pope Benedict reminds us that the Jesus of history is truely the Christ of faith. Jesus really knew who He is. He truly rose from the dead. The Gospels are to be entirely trusted.
What Pope Benedict is saying is that our faith and our hope are to be based solidly on the Word made flesh who dwelt among us.
