My Jesus Encountering Christ in the Gospel!

"Who is Jesus Christ? People have been asking this question for two thousand years. The search for the answer beings with the four Gospels, but how are they to be understood? Sunday after Sunday, Christoph Cardinal Schonborn explains the Gospel in an understandable way. By following the Gospels over the course of a year, there emerges in this book a comprehensive picture of Jesus."--BOOK JACKET.

Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, is a renowned spiritual teacher and writer. He was a student of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) and with him was co-editor of the monumental Catechism of the Catholic Church. He has authored numerous books including Jesus, the Divine Physician, Chance or Purpose?, Behold, God's Son, and Living the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
