The Personality of Christ (Christological Trilogy)

4.5/5 ( ratings)

“All admiration comes from depth. We admire what we know to be inexhaustible, unfathomable. It must be deep calling out to deep, if admiration is to be wholehearted and overpowering.” So writes Dom Anscar Vonier of the splendor of the Incarnation of the Son of God.

Abbot Vonier, who was among the most popular of England’s great homilists and theological writers in the early twentieth century, composed “The Personality of Christ” to show how Christ, while remaining a divine person, brings salvation to humanity precisely through his human actions. This text is notable first for its unusually clear explanation of the metaphysics of the Incarnation in St. Thomas Aquinas, but also and for its perceptive scriptural study of Christ’s actions and relationships within human society. Vonier shows that much of the unique, dramatic character of the gospels derives from the great distance between Christ’s infinite personality and the finite human personalities that he elevates through his human works.

"The Personality of Christ" is the first of three great Christological texts by Abbot Vonier. It is followed by "Christ the King of Glory" and "The Victory of Christ."
