St Paul's Gospel

St Paul's Gospel by Ronald Knox, 72 pages

This book compiles a series of Lenten lectures delivered by Msgr Knox in 1950.  His concern is the "Gospel according to St Paul", that is, the Christology of the Pauline epistles.  From the outset, he notes that St Paul does not spend much time dwelling on the words or miracles of Christ, but focuses on the mysteries of the Redemption and Incarnation, and their application in the life of the believer.  

Knox writes, as always, with insight and intelligence.  St Paul's Gospel is edifying reading during Lent, or at any time of year.
