{"product_id":"the-mysteries-of-christianity","title":"The Mysteries of Christianity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mysteries of Christianity is Matthias Joseph Scheebens youthful magnum opus, a logically rigorous and spiritually profound dogmatic theology. In its pages, he explores the intelligibility of Christianitys supernatural mysteries and their deep connectedness, ultimately demonstrating that Christian theology constitutes a science before the court of human reason, even as its object transcends human comprehension.Scheebens task is to present a unified view of the whole panorama of revealed truth, and he pursues this by considering nine key Christian mysteries: the Trinity, creation, sin, the Incarnation, the Eucharist, the Church and its sacraments, justification, eschatological glory, and predestination. Since the mystery of the Trinity is the root of the supernatural order, Scheeben begins here, showing that the foundation of the salvific economy lies in the eternal processions of persons in Godthe begetting of the Son and the spiration of the Spirit being in different ways the cause of the life of grace in the human soul. When the Son and the Spirit are sent into the world in the Incarnation and through the bestowal of grace, they provide the way for human beings to see God facetoface in the beatific vision, the end for which God created humans.Among the means of return to God, Scheeben particularly emphasizes the Eucharist, on account of its close connection with the mystery of the Incarnation. By placing his treatment of the Eucharist before that of the Church, he signals that his is a genuinely Eucharistic ecclesiology, centered on the abiding presence of the incarnate divine Son.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emmaus Academic","offers":[{"title":"Matthias Joseph Scheeben \/ hardcover","offer_id":47846922191093,"sku":"DADAX1645852830","price":82.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/91esuzE9bIL.jpg?v=1773845380","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/the-mysteries-of-christianity","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
