Christianity claims God has spoken, and spoken fully, in his Son, the Word made flesh. While God remains mysterious, he is not utterly unknown or unknowable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVon Balthasar insists through Christian meditation we enter with mind and heart into God's self-disclosure. In Jesus, God reveals his own inner depths to us. At the same time, because Jesus is God-made-man, he also reveals our inner depths to ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a book about what meditation is, in light of God's revelation, and a book that assists believers to \u003ci\u003emeditate\u003c\/i\u003e. In a treatment that is both fresh and profound, von Balthasar describes the central elements of all Christian meditation, provides a guide for meditation and then points the way to the union that prayer achieves in the footsteps of Mary, within the Church and in and for the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Christian meditation is entirely trinitarian and at the same time entirely human. In order to find God, no one need reject being human personally or socially, but in order to find God all must see the world and themselves in the Holy Spirit as they are in God's sight.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Hans Urs von Balthasar\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Urs Von Balthasar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0898702356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780898702354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.24h x 4.81w x 0.32d","brand":"Hans Urs Von Balthasar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46602703241471,"sku":"9780898702354","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d95ee131-269b-4eaf-bc39-07acb834dd3f.jpg?v=1739695029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christian-meditation-hans-urs-von-balthasar-9780898702354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
