Unless You Become Like This Child

Rating:
Summary: Theology unfolded
Review: This is an excellent book for those Christians who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Jesus's teaching "unless you become like this child...". This book also provides a helpfull resource to Catholics who may be constantly challenged by fundamentalist Christians to be born again. Cardinal Von Balthazar very clearly explains what is involved in being like a child unto the Lord and gives his readers many insights into the mystery of life with God, the Father.

It is a short book in terms of pages, but each page is packed with reflections. This book is best read as part of a meditation regime or one's "lectio divina" (prayerful study of religious texts).

I think readers who are looking for a substantive theological exposition will appreciate this book with its balance between deep theology and careful reasoning.
