“By returning to the methodology of the early Church, Fr. John Behring renowned patristics scholar, invites readers to approach the mystery of Christ in the same way that the first disciples of Jesus Christ learned theology.
Although the disciples had denied and abandoned the Crucified One, they came to realize, through the reading of scriptures and the breaking of bread, that Jesus had given himself up for the life of the world, so transforming death into life, darkness into light, and flesh into word. 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.”
