Though little can be known with certainty about the historical
Jesus, the image of a heavenly figure - `Christ crucified and
risen' - was constructed out of his life and teachings. This vision
of divine reality transcends traditional Hebrew poetic thought,
retaining its ancient power in the context of our new understanding
of a vast and evolving cosmos. In order to help us form a truly
contemporary Christian spirituality, Keith Ward (writing in our own
time and place rather than, for example, in the 4th century like St
Augustine, the 14th like Julian of Norwich, the 16th like Ignatius
of Loyola, or the 20th like Thomas Merton) offers a set of
reflections on what he believes to be the unique and
life-transforming revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
And as we explore the spiritual truths relating to this mystery as
expressed in the Gospels, meditation leads naturally to prayer.
