Christian proclamation, it seems, has not only lost its inwardness and instead emphasized the mere acceptance of doctrines as true, but in its discourse about God, it often appears to disregard the scientific insights of the past hundred years. The author of these interpretations addresses this spiritual and reflective dilemma by unveiling the message of Jesus as a process of spiritual and human maturation that leads to a depth and richness of awareness, meaning, and vitality rarely matched.

In doing so, she employs a language that is lively and theologically careful, thoroughly compatible with today's worldview and life experiences. Volumes for liturgical years B and C will follow.
