"Christianity is, above all, a way of seeing. What unites figures as diverse as James Joyce, Caravaggio, John Milton, the architect of Chartres, Dorothy Day, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the later Bob Dylan is a peculiar and distinctive take on things, a style, a way, which flows finally from Jesus of Nazareth.

Origen remarked that holiness is seeing with the eyes of Christ. Teilhard de Chardin said, with great passion, that his mission as a Christian thinker was to help people see. And Thomas Aquinas said that the ultimate goal of the Christian life is a `beatific vision,' an act of seeing. This book is about coming to vision through Christ." - Robert Barron, from the Prelude

This theology of transformation has a lot in common with the thinking of the early Stanley Hauerwas and Iris Murdoch. Also Simone Weil. The concept is that we are changed much more essentially by what we see, comprehend, than by acts of will. Vision is more efficacious for conversion than voluntarism. But what we see is most often given as a kind of unexpected gift, though once one has had an experience of transforming vision, it then puts one on the qui vivre to be on the lookout. This seems to be at the heart of Barron's book. Worthwhile reading and considering as it works as a kind of roadmap for the sort of seeing that can change one interiorly. Be sure and go on to read THE PRIORITY OF CHRIST by this same author. In this more recent volume, one will find a deeper and more developed theology. Five stars--*****--for the later book.
