Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Person of Christ in the Faith of the Church
Christ of dogma and the Christ of history remains broad and palpable.
A. Recent historian recalls the impression made upon the youthful reformer by the frowning face of Jesus represented in judg ment in the window of his Parish Church. Similar repulsion may often be caused by the apparent contrast between the form in which Christ is presented in the dogmatic dress of the Creeds, and that in which we meet Him within the pages of the Gospels. Even when no necessary contradiction is implied the mind may experience a shock as of an intellectual incompatibility. We look on this picture and on that. We see the great mystic outlines of a Being Whom we are taught to regard as the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, at once God and Man, Supernatural, Divine.
