Fr. Joseph Mueller, S.J. of Marquette University entitled his portion of the Colloquium,"The First Thing We Must Do is Open Ourselves to God, Benedict XVI's Theocentric Christology in Jesus of Nazareth".
After listening to Fr. Mueller's talk, I think it would benefit the readers to first read the Prayer of the High Priest, from the Gospel of St. John, chapter 17 (here) then hit the play button (here) to hear Fr. Mueller's discourse on Pope Benedict's book Jesus of Nazareth.
Fr. Mueller synthesizes some of the aspects Pope Benedict's book. Short topics which Father included are; hypostatic union, scripture studies in light of the Catholic modernist movement and Vatican II and Monotheism. Broad and big ideas that Fr. Joe discusses is, "Jesus' mission is to lead all people to the Father", "Jesus is the Sabbath" and "Benedict's 'traditional Gospel approach' is a way of undoing the sterility of the historical critical approach and allowing the real Jesus to speak to us through scripture."
Although not referenced in the talk you can envision a scholarly and supernatural approach to Jesus found in the Spiritual Exercises.
