This study explores the way in which, by way of the Christian
mysteries, divine action impacts human life. The triune God acts in
Jesus Christ by means of historical events whose effects transcend
time and which are mediated through their celebration in memorial
and worship. Drawing on both Evangelical and Catholic writers,
Nichols provides evidence that the general portrait of Jesus found
in the Pauline letters and the four Gospels rests on reliable
historical witness. On this basis, he offers a concise Christology
which presents Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the Messianic
hope of the Old Testament; explores his unique being as laid out in
the teaching of the great Ecumenical Councils of the first
Christian millennium, and describes how the classic theologian of
the Latin tradition, St Thomas Aquinas, sees the chief historical
events of Christ's life as affecting humanity throughout future
time. Nichols then looks at the Christian concept of God - namely,
Trinitarian monotheism. God so conceived can act efficaciously in
the created order and does so by the deployment of his Word and
Spirit in ways which express for a fallen, historical world, the
dynamics of the interaction of the divine Persons in eternity -
Persons who now draw human beings within their range. Those gains
in understanding are then applied to the individual mysteries of
the life of Christ, from his biological conception to his coming
Parousia. For each mystery, Nichols describes a biblical preamble;
an account of how the mystery is seen by the Liturgy and the
Fathers of the Church; illumination from the three theological
masters whom the author makes his own in this work - Aquinas,
Balthasar and Bulgakov;- and a visual image drawn from the treasury
of sacred art.
