The Word A Meditation on the Prologue to Saint John's Gospel

After writing an extensive four volume series of meditations on St. John's Gospel, Adrienne von Speyr presents her profound reflections on the Prologue to St. John's Gospel. Her insights embrace the whole Christian revelation and life: the Church and the Sacraments, Faith, Love, Hope, man's attitudes towards revelation, his acceptance and rejection of the Word.

This work is a spiritual meditation of the highest quality by an extraordinarily gifted woman. Her unique gift for opening up to us aspects of God's Word offer meditations that are sublime and practical, mystical and concrete, that unlock the depths of the sacred text for those willing to encounter it on its own terms.

Providing rich nourishment for both theological reflection and contemplative prayer, this book-length meditation will transport you straight to the Heart of the divine Word.
