And Now I See: A Theology of Transformation

And Now I See: A Theology of Transformation by Barron, Robert E.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780824517533.

&;Christianity is, above all, a way of seeing. What unites figures as diverse as James Joyce, Caravaggio, John Milton, the architect of Chartres, Dorothy Day, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the later Bob Dylan is a peculiar and distinctive take on things, a style, a way, which flows finally from Jesus of Nazareth. Origen remarked that holiness is seeing with the eyes of Christ. Teilhard de Chardin said, with great passion, that his mission as a Christian thinker was to help people see. And Thomas Aquinas said that the ultimate goal of the Christian life is a &;beatific vision,&; an act of seeing. This book is about coming to vision through Christ.&; &; Robert Barron, from the Prelude
