Description
In the Christian Tradition, our understanding of Christ has been enhanced by the contemplation of a number of titles ascribed to him: Friend, Healing Presence of God, Caller of Disciples, Bread of Life, Good Shepherd, Priest, Brother, Prince of Peace, and Good Samaritan. Reflecting on these traditional christological titles, Robin Ryan uses them as windows through which to gaze on the inexhaustible mystery of the crucified and risen Jesus. Each window provides some insight into a dimension of the person of Jesus and his life-giving action in our lives. Book jacket.
