Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-01 00:00:00 Grant Mcfarlane Cardinal Estevez based this book on a 16th century Spanish work written by Fray Luis de León which reflexcted on the names of Christ. This short book follows a similar patter of presenting reflections on the different names for Christ found in the New Testament. 31 different names are presented in alphabetical order, and each is presented within the scriptural context where it is found. Some of the names such as Word of God are extensively fleshed out, with the theological and spiritual significance richly illustrated, while others are presented more briefly. This is a book which provides rich fodder for prayer and meditation. I found the scriptural quotes helpful, but I also enjoyed the times when the cardinal explored the deeper spiritual significance of a given name in relation to a Christian's life. It is perhaps not one that one can simply sit and read cover to cover, it seems that would be a bit tedious, but it is certainly a book worth exploring. |
