The mystery of Christ

Doctrinal TheologyHistoryHistory of doctrinesJesus christ, history of doctrinesTheology, doctrinal, history, early church, ca. 30-600

Beginning with the Passion narratives, Fr Behr examines how we search the scriptures to encounter Christ and thereby realize that we were created for this encounter, thus opening a profound perspective on creation, the fall, sin, and salvation history. He further explains how Christ is born in those who are born again in the Church, their "Virgin Mother," so that they become truly human, after the stature of Christ, and continue the incarnation of the Word by glorifying God in their bodies.
