Humanity of Christ

The Humanity of Christ is Romano Guardini’s invaluable contribution to a psychology of Jesus Christ. Psychological analysis is not without its perils; its observations can result in an individual being placed in a strictly naturalistic, immanent situation, rendering even the notion of transcendence unintelligible. Is a psychology of Christ even possible? Considering that question of urgent importance, Guardini shows how Jesus Christ both embraces and transcends everything merely human- He is the Word made flesh. An essential component of a complete Christology, The Humanity of Christ is in perfect continuity with Pope Benedict XVI’s Jesus of Nazareth trilogy.
