Pre-Owned The Mystery of Christ in You: The Mystical Vision of Saint Paul (Paperback) 0818908025 9780818908026

There was something about the mystery of God’s wisdom, a wisdom which was secret and hidden but which God had ordained from time immemorial for our glory and finally revealed in Christ, that intrigued and fascinated Paul. He was so thrilled by the insights which came to him the more he contemplated the mystery that he could not wait to share the good news with the world. In Christ, through his Holy Spirit and the gracious gift of God the Father, we are to share in the divine life of the Trinity and live with God forever. That life begins here and now as we live in union with the risen Lord and seek to accomplish his works with the help of the Holy Spirit: God’s gift of love. We along with all the baptized, with Christ as the head, are members of the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church, on earth and share in its mission to reestablish all things in Christ. There is a cosmic and an eschatological dimension to the mystery which Paul also considered at some depth in his epistles. All of these matters are dealt with at length by Father Maloney in this timely new work as many, on the cusp of the third millennium, seek answers to the purpose of life and the ultimate goal of the universe.
