In the Redeeming Christ

"Francis X. Durrwell's lifelong emphasis on the resurrected Christ, reflected in many works, made him a reference point in Christology both before and after the Council. I read him as a young man and am happy to have his work before me in my maturity. To have his books back in print is a real gift for the contemporary church."

“In movies and novels, revolutionaries often appear as flamboyant characters. Obsessed, manipulative, they know how to get what they want by working the crowds, seizing opportunities, and launching public spectacles and demonstrations. But the true revolutionaries—the revolutionaries of the spirit—are nothing like that. Instead, they are quietly faithful to the vision God has given them. Such a man was Fr. François-Xavier Durrwell.”

“Durrwell’s book ranks among the spiritual classics and reflects the theological ressourcement of the last century: a moving account of what it means to live ‘in Christ’ that is rooted in the scriptures and experienced through the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church. It offers a genuinely sacramental vision of Christian life and is a must-read for those who seek to embrace this life in its fullness.”
