<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book is a masterpiece. It embodies the wealth of modern exegetical criticism opened by Protestant theologians like Karl Barth; the great traditions of 'devotio moderna'; French 17th century thought; the great insights of the Catholic mystics; and the matured speculation of scholasticism. But above all, it is an approach to Christ through the Gospels".--Commonwealth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ--his life and times, in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's <i>The Lord</i> gives the complete story of Jesus Christ--as man, Holy Ghost, <i>and</i> Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God, away from the prejudice that rationality engenders. Put long-held myths aside and discover the <i>entire</i> truth about God's only begotten Son.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><BR>"This book is a masterpiece.

Reinhold, "Commonweal" <BR>"Guardini s book The Lord has not grown old, precisely because it still leads us to that which is essential, to that which is truly real, Jesus Christ Himself. That is why today this book still has a great mission."<BR>Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI"<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Romano Guardini (1885-1968) was ordained a priest in 1910. He was a professor at the University of Berlin until the Nazis expelled him in 1939. His sermons, books, popular classes, and his involvement in the post-war German Catholic Youth Movement won him worldwide acclaim. His works combine a keen thirst for God with a profound depth of thought and a delightful perfection of expression.
