This review is from: The Mystery of the Incarnation (Paperback)

While definitely inclined toward those of the Catholic faith, Schönborn's work provides an enlightening view of the Catholic Creed and its implications in light of myth, modern-day Christmas commerciality. It addresses the question which is pertinent in any epoch: "But how can we believe in this myth?"

Although I am not a Catholic, nor even a Christian, I found the book easy to read and enlightening. The author discusses various modern theories and questions which seem to be very pertinent to this generation.

I recommend this book for those who are interested in further understanding of not only the Incarnation, but also of the Catholic faith.
