The Mystery of Christ . . . and Why We Don't Get It

Widely recognized as a creative insightful writer Robert Farrar Capon offers still more of his uniquely provocative fare in <I>The Mystery of Christ . . . and Why We Don't Get It</I>. This engaging book probes the meaning of salvation — peace forgiveness grace reconciliation — spoken of in the New Testament as a "mystery."<BR /><BR /> Reminding his readers sometimes in startling ways that salvation is a gift rather than a transaction Capon uses a variety of dialogues to drive home the truth that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Along the way he explores guilt forgiveness love anger romance grief spiritual contentment the Incarnation reincarnation resurrection and more — and manages to make salvation something fresh and new in the process.
