{"product_id":"approaches-to-christ","title":"Approaches to Christ","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Jean Daniélou, S.J.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA whole host of theological disciplines \u003c\/b\u003econverge upon Jesus of Nazareth: biblical, exegetical, historical, dogmatic, spiritual, systematic, and so forth. While they possess the common purpose of understanding Jesus, these disciplines nevertheless often end up achieving the opposite of this purpose, grasping the Whole only in terms of those parts which correspond to their sources and methods. In \u003ci\u003eApproaches to Christ\u003c\/i\u003e, Jean Daniélou aims to dissolve this theological compartmentalization by providing a quasi-\u003ci\u003eSumma\u003c\/i\u003e of the various modes of speculation concerning the unfathomable richness of the Incarnate Word of God. In studying these different paths trodden by historians and theologians, exegetes and mystics, nothing of value is lost which can lead to a better understanding of Jesus Christ. In fact, the complementary nature of their insights show forth the unity of the Word-Made-Flesh through the various states in which He is revealed in His life on earth, in His life in the Church, and in His return in glory at the end of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Jesus of history is already the Lord of faith, as the Lord of faith is still the Jesus of history. There is a strict continuity between the Word of God the Creator, the Wisdom that inspired the Prophets, the Child of Bethlehem, the crucified Jesus of Golgotha, the glorified Christ present in the Eucharist, the inward Master who teaches the saints. \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJean Daniélou, S.J.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOriginally appearing in English as \u003ci\u003eChrist and Us \u003c\/i\u003ein 1961, \u003ci\u003eApproaches to Christ \u003c\/i\u003ecom­bines theological synthesis and spiritual insight into an arresting and illuminating meditation on God’s plan for the salvation of mankind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean Daniélou, S.J. \u003c\/b\u003e(1905–1974) was one of the leading theologians of the twentieth century.
