Description
"In this selection of recent essays, Geoffrey Wainwright continues to probe some perennial questions posed by existence amid the world and before God. Firmly rooted in the classical Christian tradition, he finds illumination in the Scriptures, the history of doctrine, and the liturgical practices of the Church. The recurrent theme is the comprehensive purpose of God for creation, embodied in the Word made flesh, and looking in turn to be grasped by human beings. The focal image is that of show more Jesus suspended on the cross, reflected in the lines of Charles Wesley: "The arms of love that compass me/Would all mankind embrace.""--BOOK JACKET. show lessTags
