“A book where one may derive solid nourishment for an intelligent personal spirituality — one based on a deeper knowledge of our Lord and His message of salvation.”
—Pastoral Life

“The first chapter, bristling with patristic, biblical and liturgical references, develops a basic insight on the incarnation which runs like a golden thread through the remainder.”
—Catholic Biblical Quarterly

“Excellent reading…gives perspective to meditating on the life of Christ.”
—Review for Religious

“Yves Congar makes us see our Lord in new lights and from new angles, much in the way our Protestant brethren have been meditating on Him for a long time.”
—Theological Studies

“The author’s approach…reflects a robust, mature piety which not only illumines the mind, but also probes the practical values of the Christian mysteries.”
—Emmanuel

“A profound insight into the tenor of the Christian message…Congar’s analysis of Jesus as the Image of God is a superb piece of theological writing… especially welcome…no one can write as charismatically as Pere Congar.”
