Spanning the time from the patristic period, through the medieval period to Reformation and post-Reformation era, to the modern era, th...

Coming to Christ provides a retrieval of the traditional Christian doctrine of eternal life through scripture and the history of theological reflection, while presenting the liturgy as primary theology since it addresses God directly. It traces back to Neanderthal man the reality of human hope that looks beyond death and demands final expression in eternal communion with God.

Owen Cummings insightfully reflects this awareness through his intuitive, right-brain approach to liturgical theology, as he offers us a kaleidoscope of snapshots viewed through the lenses of a "great cloud of witnesses" that includes but is not limited to poets, novelists, and preachers.
