Who Is Jesus Christ?

"Who do you say that I am?" Christ's contemporaries ascribed to Him many names and titles, as we see recorded in the New Testament. Each one tells us something different about who Jesus is. In this book, Eric Sammons frames a series of thoughtful reflections on the names of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew with references from the Church Fathers, the saints, and Doctors of the Church. He "translates" the depth of the mystery of the Faith so readers can discover new dimensions of the person of Christ and new ways to recognize and welcome Him into their lives. "This volume exemplifies what the world Synod of Bishops recently called for: sound biblical resources that help people encounter Christ, the Word made flesh, in the reading of Scripture." Mary Healy, PhD, General Editor, Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture "Eric Sammons knows how to cut to the chase with grace and aplomb. Who Is Jesus Christ? is the most important question that has ever been asked in the history of the human race and he ably helps us answer itand all the deepest longings of the human heartthrough the Christ he serves so well."
