And Peter Stuhlmacher. But it was a private colloquium held in Castel Gandolfo. The meeting was organized by Ratzinger’s assistant when he taught at the University of Regensburg, Stephan Horn. Among the scholars, there were also Christoph Schönborn and Hans-Jochen Jaschke.

What was the theme of this colloquium? It was the relationship between the Jesus of the gospels and the one of history. Who, according to the Pope, is the very same person. During the meeting, Ratzinger illustrated his second book on Jesus he’s writing, which will deal with the passion narratives.

Who could attend the colloquium? Few people. They were 40 among Raztinger’s former students of theology. The proceedings of the meeting will be to be published next year by the Libreria Editrice Vaticana.
