Romano Guardini published his book The Lord in 1954. He was a favorite of the young Fr. Joseph Ratzinger, and it's easy for me to see why. I read some pieces of this book for a theology class years ago, but it's taken this long for me to actually start reading the whole book.
I have an older edition, so the page numbers might be a little off...
Ch. 1, Origin & Ancestry
One of the first neat things that stood out to me was on pg. 4, the paragraph that starts "Only in the flesh, not in the bare spirit..." The Incarnation/Logos and the dwelling place of God among His people in the OT... a beautiful combination! It reminded me of a Scripture paper I wrote for a class. One of the words I examined was "tabernacle." I was surprised to see that the same word "tabernacle" was used a variety of times. It was the tent that housed the ark of the covenant; it was at the Transfiguration, when Peter offered to build 3 booths; it is the house of the Eucharist in the New Covenant.
What stood out to you?
