Christ: The Experience of Jesus as Lord

This sequel to the late Fr. Schillebeeckx's book, "Jesus: and Experiment in Christology" is extraodinarily rich in its explication of the Christian experience of the depth and breadth of the salvific reality of Jesus Christ. His discussion of the "seven anthropological coordinates" are essential to understanding the all-inclusive nature of God's saving work in Jesus Christ. His discussion on the mystery of suffering reflects his deep concern for addressing the questions raised by the political theologies of J.B. Metz, S.J. and Jurgen Moltmann in Europe and the liberation theologies coming out of Latin America, Asia,and Black and the Feminist movements. His discussion on the structure of grace coming from the gospels and epistles in very helpful in helping to better understand the experience of grace as it is interpreted within the various traditions of the early Church. I recommend this book most enthusiastically for those interested understanding the some of the Scritpural and Traditional warrants for promoting the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church.
