Redeemer in the Womb: Jesus Living in Mary

The heavenly Word spent the initial stage of his human existence in Mary's body. For nine months, he whom the heaven of heavens could not contain was housed inside his mother's womb as a real human infant. However, current Christology has nothing to say about this era of Jesus' life.  

Fr. John Saward reclaims this neglected treasure from the treasury of revelation in Redeemer in the Womb, relying on Scripture, the Church Fathers and great Doctors, Christian philosophy and theology, liturgy, poetry, and iconography.  

The Incarnation of God the Son in the womb of the Virgin exposes the magnitude of man's dignity and helps us to reconsider human existence as it begins in a woman's uterus, and the beauty, truth, and goodness of this first chapter of the human tale.
