5.0 out of 5 stars
Classical Michael Casey,
By
This review is from: Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology (Paperback)
I was concerned when I saw the word "Christology" in the title of this book that it would focus on the theological, rather than having Michael Casey's usual pragmatic spirituality. There was no need for concern, this book is consistent with Casey's usual style. Being a monk seems to have sharpened his understanding of the human condition.
The book chapters are: 1. Divine humanity 2. The recalcitrant body 3. Jesus baptized in the Jordan 4. Ourselves and others 5. Jesus tempted 6. Contrary imaginations 7. Jesus exorcises 8. Detoxification 9. Jesus the sower 10. Trust in providence 11. Jesus stills a storm 12. A quiet mind 13. Jesus the learner 14. An open heart 15. Jesus moves around 16. Ambiguity 17. Jesus transfigured 18. Meta-experience 19. Jesus the prophet 20. Confession 21. Gethsemane 22. Crisis 23. Desolation 24. Nakedness 25. Eternity From the back cover: "In eloquent prose, Michael Casey offers a Marcan-based gospel exploration of the humanity and divinity of Jesus. Chapters on the dynamics of Jesus life on earth as portrayed in Mark alternate with chapters that turn our attention back to our own human condition. Thus, we grow in an understanding of our own humanity as the means by which we participate in the precious gift of divine life in and through Christ." It is definitely worth reading.

a spiritual gift,
By Ann Bronte (Portland OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology (Paperback)
This book is incredible! I have never encountered a book that both engaged my spiritual development and growth as I read it, and was academically this solid. Casey is an exceptional writer and I have hung on nearly every word. This is where the rubber of spirituality meets the road of human existence.

Fully Human, Fully Divine,
This review is from: Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology (Paperback)
I highly recommend this entire book of essays on the impact of Jesus Christ on day to day living. The language is clear and precise and understandable. It can become a lifetime companion for guidance.
