The Beauty of Christ. A Philosophical Understanding of the Gospel. Prologue by Julian Marías, Royal Spanish Academy Translated from the Spanish by Harold C. Raley
This work offers a profound theological and linguistic exploration of the Gospels and the New Testament, emphasizing the element of beauty within the figure of Christ and the Virgin Mary. By examining the original Greek texts and comparing liturgical translations, the author argues that the essence of Christianity and Catholicism is deeply rooted in this maternal-filial beauty. The text also incorporates reflections on Pope Benedict XVI's views on truth, goodness, and the nature of worship, ultimately presenting a perspective that challenges readers to rediscover the richness and clarity of the Christian message.
