I have a copy sitting next to me, but I am not allowed to quote out of it or 'publicly display it' until Thursday. I have been reading it this afternoon and it is the definition of amesome. Skip the Little Black Book, buy it for your Lenten reading.

Fr. Z was given permission to discuss a few sections, so I know a little bit of what it's about. :) My copy shipped today, according to Amazon. :proud:

It is dense, highly theological, and clocks in at over 350 pages. There are a couple of quotes I am dying to put here, but have to wait.

I had to read the first volume very slowly, and I still didn't take in as much as I wanted. I really wish I could just dedicate a full week to reading and digesting it. :P

that would be a good working definition of a German theologian.

I've been thinking about purchasing it... but I can only afford the kindle version right now... and that's the sort of book where I'd [i]definitely[/i] want a physical copy. I also need to reread the first volume... although I'm not sure how imperative that is to reading this new one.

This one is based on the Passion of Christ correct?! If that can be answered that is.

I believe its focus is Holy Week.

I contacted the St. Paul's bookstore here and they said it'll be available next week. I hope it's not costlier than the last one was. (Though I do not in the least regret spending what I did for the previous book, I like to hope that in the near future, Popes will follow Cory Doctorow's model.)
