The Mystical Christ: Introduction To The Study Of The Supernatural Character Of The Church (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164506546)

The Mystical Christ is a book written by John C. Gruden that introduces readers to the supernatural character of the Church. The author explores the concept of the mystical body of Christ, which refers to the idea that the Church is not just a physical institution, but a spiritual entity that is united with Christ through the Holy Spirit. Gruden examines the history of this concept, tracing its roots back to the early Church Fathers and exploring how it has been understood and interpreted throughout the centuries. He also discusses the practical implications of this belief for the life of the Church and its members, including the sacraments, prayer, and the pursuit of holiness.The book is intended as an introduction to this complex and fascinating topic, and is written in a clear and accessible style that will be of interest to both scholars and lay readers. It offers a comprehensive overview of the mystical character of the Church, and provides insights into how this belief can deepen our understanding of the nature of God and our relationship with Him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
