To accomplish it, he toiled tirelessly in prayer, praise, and preaching; he also wrote prolifically: scores of books, articles, and pamphlets flowed from his pen, all with “the clarity and the sureness of an occasional glimpse of the heavens for a mariner in an overcast night.” In this vast literary store, perhaps no piece is more significant than \u003ci\u003eA Life of Our Lord\u003c\/i\u003e, because its subject is its author’s beloved Master and Friend. Offering a fresh telling of the life of Christ, McNabb furnishes both the facts of that life and their inward significance, making clearly visible what is so easily overlooked or obscured in contemplating the mystery of the Incarnation—the centuries of preparation of God’s chosen people, the fullness of time and the \u003ci\u003efiat\u003c\/i\u003e of the Virgin Mary, the proclamation of the Kingdom, the fulfillment of the Paschal Mystery, and the promise of life eternal with the One who is Life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFirst published in 1938, the fruit of fifty years’ worth of study and meditation, \u003ci\u003eA Life of Our Lord \u003c\/i\u003eis an eloquent rendition of the “romance of Redemption,” certain to bid readers onward toward the life-giving words of the Gospels, the Life of Christ “which was the \u003ci\u003efirst\u003c\/i\u003e and will be forever the \u003ci\u003ebest\u003c\/i\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVincent McNabb, O.P. \u003c\/b\u003e(1868–1943) was an Irish Dominican priest and scholar. Active in apologetics and catechesis, he authored dozens of books and hundreds of articles, served as professor of philosophy, and filled numerous roles for his Domini­can province. Such was his sheer presence that G. K. Chesterton once wrote: “Nobody who ever met or saw or heard Father McNabb has ever forgotten him.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178pp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e978-1685955076\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cluny Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50949045485787,"sku":"978-1685955076","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/2329\/5645\/files\/ProductImages_705.jpg?v=1793109818","url":"https:\/\/clunymedia.com\/products\/a-life-of-our-lord","provider":"Cluny Media","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
