Christ the Tiger: A Postscript to Dogma Book

This is at least my second reading of this classic by Tom Howard. What an amazing read; though short, its chock full & dense. It's really a short bio of Tom's early years and the influence of his family on his faith, as it developed during the years of his higher education and then early working years. It's a brash apologetic for the uniqueness of Christ--the person at the center of history who is unlike any other. Tom does a great job of being honest about death & the ubiquitous fight to fend death off--as well as asking deep & penetrating questions about various philosophies of life & how people try to deal with the emptiness & disappointments & vacuity of life in general. It's a call to realize that there is hope--and it's only found in redemption that's been made available, only in Christ the Tiger. A most inauspicious entry; a most glorious exit (breaking the bonds of the grave)--a promised Return. It just might be what it's all about.
