Redeemer in the Womb: Jesus Living in Mary - Hardcover
by John Saward (Author)
The first stage of the divine Word's human life was in Mary's body. For nine months, he whom the heaven of heavens cannot hold was housed, as a real human baby, within his mother's womb. But contemporary Christology has little to say about this period of the life of Jesus.
In Redeemer in the Womb, Fr. John Saward reclaims this forgotten pearl from the treasury of revelation, drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers and chief Doctors, Christian philosophy and theology, liturgy, poetry, and iconography.
The Incarnation of God the Son in the Virgin's womb reveals the greatness of man's dignity, and allows us to look afresh at human life in the womb and the beauty, truth, and goodness of this first chapter of the human story.
