Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection is the second volume in Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI's two-volume meditation on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Offers a detailed analysis of Jesus Christ's final week in Jerusalem, examining the political, religious and scholarly aspects of Jesus' life, teaching, death and resurrection.

Though Pope Benedict published numerous works when he was a cardinal and before, this is only the second book he has authored during his papacy. The English translation has been published by Ignatius Press in 2011.

In this book’s introduction, the pope states that he has “attempted to develop a way of observing and listening to the Jesus of the Gospels that can indeed lead to a personal encounter” with him. The pope continued saying that he “tried to maintain a distance from any controversies over particular points and to consider only the essential words and deeds of Jesus.”

Jesus of Nazareth's nine chapters cover the period of time from The Entrance into Jerusalem and the Cleansing of the Temple by Jesus, Jesus’ Eschatological Discourse and its meaning within his teachings, The Washing of the Feet, the significance of Jesus’ High-Priestly Prayer, the date and connection to the Eucharist of The Last Supper, Jesus’ prayers at Gethsemane, the implication of The Trial of Jesus, the importance and words of the Crucifixion and Burial of Jesus, finally to Jesus’ Resurrection from the Dead.
