A great, quick read from Bishop Robert Barron (although written earlier in his career). The writing itself was a little clunky in a few places and the book didn't present any new ideas, rather a collection and simplification of many ideas in the tradition, but it was a great introduction for a beginner like me. It was also interesting to see many of the themes that his apostolate, Word on Fire, follows were presented here very early. ( ) no reviews | add a review
"Christianity is, above all, a way of seeing. What unites figures as diverse as James Joyce, Caravaggio, John Milton, the architect of Chartres, Dorothy Day, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the later Bob Dylan is a peculiar and distinctive take on things, a style, a way, which flows finally from Jesus of Nazareth. Origen remarked that holiness is seeing with the eyes of Christ. Teilhard de Chardin said, with great passion, that his mission as a Christian thinker was to help people see. And Thomas Aquinas said that the ultimate goal of the Christian life is a 'beatific vision,' an act of seeing. This book is about coming to vision through Christ." -- Robert Barron, from the Prelude No library descriptions found. |
