To Know Christ Jesus

by Frank J. Sheed

Publisher:

Ignatius

, 1992

Overview

This modern spiritual classic by Frank Sheed, renowned author, publisher and lecturer, helps readers to know Christ as he actually lived among us. Sheed explores how Jesus interacted with those he encountered from his infancy to his passion and death—the God-man who was like us in all things except sin. Sheed examines Christ’s effect upon others—how they saw him, and why. He looks at Mary and Joseph in their task of bringing up a baby who was literally adorable. He discusses John the Baptist, Mary of Bethany, Mary Magdalen, Nicodemus, and people that appear only for a moment—like the man born blind and the owners of the drowned swine. He addresses why the Pharisees would not accept Christ. Sheed employs wide learning, theological sophistication, spiritual insight, and a lucid style to bring the reader to a personal encounter with the living Lord.
