Description
A Major Commentary on Christology from Bishop Robert Barron
For a very long time, Christians have tried to bridge the divide between Christianity and secular liberalism with philosophy and theology. Bishop Robert Barron shows that the answer to this debate–and find out how to move forward–lies in Jesus. Barron transcends the standard liberal/conservative or Protestant/Catholic divides with a postliberal Catholicism that brings the focal point back on Jesus as revealed in the New Testament narratives.
Barron’s classical Catholic postliberalism will probably be of interest to a broad audience including not only the academic community but also preachers and general readers interested in entering the dialogue between Catholicism and postliberalism. The hardcover edition includes a new preface by the writer.
Praise for The Priority of Christ
“Barron’s wonderful book The Priority of Christ brings postliberalism back to its Catholic home. . . . A downright lovely book, written with one of those winsome literary flair that exhibits the inviting clarity of a master teacher. Highly advisable.”
—James K. A. Smith, Religious Studies Review
“The book is filled with gems worthy of hours of contemplation.”
—Mark G. Boyer, The Priest
