May 17, 2010 :: Posted by - Vicky :: Category - Book publishing
According to the latest reports, Pope Benedict XVI has finished writing his second book, the follow-up to his bestselling Jesus of Nazareth. Expected to be released sometime in the next few months, the Vatican are describing it as:
“…dedicated to the Passion and the Resurrection (of Jesus), and starts where the first volume finished,”
The book has been written in the Pope’s native German and sent to publishers Manuel Herder as well as the Vatican Publishing House. The Vatican have explained the delay on the book’s release saying it will take time to translate it into many languages accurately. It also would have been completed sooner – early in 2010 – had the Pope not broken his wrist back in July 2009.
