The Mystery of God's Word,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mystery of God's Word (Paperback)
I'm a protestant who loves God's Word, and I have to admit that The Raniero Cantalamessa is RICH with insight and wisdom. I would place this book as a "chart topper" in my reading. I really appreciate how Fr. Cantalamessa opens my eyes that the Word of God is like walking through an orchard of many different varieties of fruit. I wrote him a letter in Italy thanking him for the book, and he wrote back with encouragement. This book is deep, rich, and powerful for anyone who is passionate about the revelation of God's Word!

foundaional approach to homiletics,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mystery of God's Word (Paperback)
I was looking for a basic homiletics text and have found it in this book. Cantalamessa looks at the Word of God itself, rather than methodology. He proposes a foundation for preaching and evangelization based on an experience of Jesus as a person rather than as a theological construct or concept. He does not eschew discussions of difficult topics, e.g. verbal inflation and absolute truth. His familiarity with a broad sampling of the Fathers of the Church and other literature both grounds and clarifies the presentation. The Alan Neame translation is a pleasure to read.
