Christ Brings All Newness: Essays, Reviews, and Reflections - Hardcover
by Robert P. Imbelli (Author)
St. Irenaeus teaches that "Christ brought all newness in bringing himself." This representative collection of the writings of Father Robert Imbelli proclaims, celebrates, and sounds the depths of the newness of Jesus Christ and the radical transformation to which Christ calls believers. Rooted in Scripture and the Fathers of the Church, these essays, reviews, and reflections explore the Christian faith's rich liturgical, artistic, literary, and theological traditions across the centuries.
At a time when Catholic theology too often risks being reduced to sociology and Christian faith and discipleship diluted to mere moralism, the author proposes a vibrant and profound mystagogic theology. In such theology, the mystery of Christ is not only notional but real, not only described but evoked. Imbelli offers a theology and vision of the Christian faith at once intellectually stimulating and deeply affective.Robert P. Imbelli, a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, studied in Rome during the Second Vatican Council. He received his Ph.D. in theology from Yale University and has taught at Saint Joseph's Seminary (Dunwoodie), Maryknoll School of Theology, and Boston College.
