Sheen in \u003ci\u003eThe Cross and the Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e, is fundamentally moral and religious in nature. Men, as G. K. Chesterton’s famously remarked, “invent new ideals because they dare not attempt old ideals. They look forward with enthusiasm, because they are afraid to look back.” The distress of modernity, argues Sheen, is the result of a fear-ridden flight from the cross of Jesus Christ, a reckless reluctance to look back to the salvific sacrifice on Calvary. The consequences of that choice envelop every area of human life. By use of the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Sheen points to the one cure for the modern distress: the grace flowing from the side of the crucified Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe save the world by loving the cross;\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ewe lose it by fleeing even from its shadows. \u003c\/i\u003e(Fulton J.

This divine humility is the inspiration for Fulton J.

To address what it means that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” Sheen plumbs the uniquely profound import of Christ’s preaching and miracles, his passion, death, and resurrection, and his threefold character of priest, prophet, and king. The result is not just an instructive account of the life of Jesus Christ, but also a potent antidote to the malignancies of the modern age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in the vital spirit of childlike humility, The Eternal Galilean is a passionate, at times poetic, meditation on the mystery of the Son of God, who came “to seek and to save that which was lost.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* * *\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFulton J.
