Omschrijving

This book provides a comprehensive and accessible synthesis of the Catholic theological tradition by structuring its exploration around the fundamental human experience of existence itself, beginning with the profound questions and mysteries inherent to human life. Christian revelation, particularly as embodied in the person of Jesus Christ, provides the ultimate answer to these existential longings. The book thus moves from the human condition to the divine response--buttressed by use of the Christian mystical tradition--framing theology not as an abstract discipline but as a meaningful engagement with the deepest realities of life. It systematically guides the reader through the core tenets of Catholic thought, including the doctrines of God, Christ, the Church, and the sacraments, all while emphasizing their existential significance. The trajectory of his work culminates in eschatology, the "New Creation," presenting the Christian narrative as a coherent story that moves from creation to redemption and finally to consummation. The author's Jesuit perspective is often evident in its focus on the spiritual and experiential dimensions of faith, making complex theological concepts relatable by consistently connecting them to the human search for meaning, grace, and ultimate fulfillment in God.

Well known for his many insightful studies of the mysticism of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Fr. Egan has also written on the broad history of Christian mysticism, including his impressive Anthology of Christian Mysticism."
--Bernard McGinn, University of Chicago

"Let Fr. Harvey Egan, a master not only of Fr. Rahner's spirituality but also of spiritu¬ality itself, take you to this center of his life and theology and then on to its wonderful whole wide range."
--Leo J. O'Donovan, SJ, President Emeritus, Georgetown University

"I can think of no better guide to the Christian mystical tradition than Fr. Harvey Egan, SJ. Learned, prayerful, articulate, inviting and always accessible, he is among the best of teachers."
