The Mystery of Christ: Life in Death

Beginning with the Passion narratives, Fr Behr examines how we search the scriptures to encounter Christ and thereby realize that we were created for this encounter, thus opening a profound perspective on creation, the fall, sin, and salvation history. He further explains how Christ is born in those who are born again in the Church, their "Virgin Mother," so that they become truly human, after the stature of Christ, and continue the incarnation of the Word by glorifying God in their bodies.

A world-renowned scholar, the Very Rev. Dr John Behr served as the Dean of St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary and is currently Director of the Master of Theology Program, the Father Georges Florovsky Distinguished Professor of Patristics Professor of Patristics and the Editor of the Popular Patristics series.
