The Italian press has already dubbed the book “The Ratzinger Code.” The theologian, who wrote much of the work back in 2003, before his accession to the papacy, defends the idea that the image of Christ proposed in the Gospels is “much more logical and, from a historical point of view, much clearer than the reconstructions that we have encountered in recent decades " In Italy and the USA, the book is scheduled for release at the end of March. Brown's book has sold 30 million copies, but the new Pope is also selling well - the circulation of his first encyclical, “God is Love,” has exceeded a million.
