Who is Jesus Christ? How can we really know Him? These are questions everyone should ask. The best answers are found in the four Gospels, but how are they to be understood, and applied to our modern lives? Cardinal Schonborn, former student of Pope Benedict XVI and himself a well-known theologian and spiritual teacher, presents his second volume of reflections on the person of Christ, this time as found in the words and images of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospel of Mark. Sunday after Sunday, Cardinal Schonborn, uses the Gospel readings from Mark to bring to light the life of Christ in clear and understandable words.
