The Lord by Romano Guardini (PDF)

Description

The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ—his life and times, in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus’ story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini’s The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ—as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini’s work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God, away from the prejudice that rationality engenders. Put long-held myths aside and discover the entire truth about God’s only begotten Son.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐There are many commentaries on the Bible … but none that I have read can compare with the thoughtfulness and intimacy of The Lord, by Romano Guardini. Although Monsignor Guardini clearly and frequently states that no one can ever fully know or psychoanalyze Christ, Monsignor Guardini presents a rich and almost overwhelming meditation on both the natural man and the supernatural Son of God – who Is God. The book is beautifully written; each paragraph truly is a meditation that one should encounter slowly and frequently. I have both the hard copy and the Audible. The audible is very well done; the melodious voice of the narrator, Gordon Greenhill, enhances the prose — which certainly needs no enhancement. Mr. Greenhill’s voice is poetry. This book is a must for anyone who reads and loves the Bible… and who longs to know, love, and serve God in this world … and spend eternity with Him in the next. If you have seen the Son… you have seen the Father. This book is a gift from above, and we are so fortunate that it is still published … and offered on Amazon. Thank you Amazon.

⭐This is a must read for anybody interested in learning more about Jesus Christ the Lord, from a theological yet accessible non-specialistic perspective.For those who are not familiar with Monsignor Guardini, the author is a Catholic priest (he was offered a Cardinalship by Paul VI but he declined).This book is really a series of meditations on Jesus Christ from birth (“before all ages”) to the Second Coming.It delivers a wealth of theological and poetical insights and is written in a beautiful and direct style. At around 600 hundred pages the book is long but it it is divided into many short chapters that help focus meditation. Personally, I have chosen to read only one chapter a day and let the riches of this book sink in in me over months.This book has moved me, surprised me, hit me in the stomach like a punch. I think someone could disagree with Guardini’s take on some theological aspects (I am no expert) but the sincerity of heart of the author makes his “reflections” well worth reading. I just loved it.

⭐If you want something to dissect and explain theologically the life of Jesus, pick up this book. My Jesus library is forever expanding. This book, however, now rates at the top along with anything written by NT Wright. I first purchased the Audible version and it was clear I needed the print version as well. So many things I just didn’t understand. No nonsense worrying about when the gospels were written and with what is in this gospel but not in that ; rather it melds all 4 together and inserts Paul when necessary. While this book is dated, I have found nothing better to explain some of the theology that I never captured on Sunday mornings. A must have if you are a serious student of Jesus.

⭐I first came in contact with Romano Guardini about a year or so ago. As I explored his work, his book “The Lord” seemed appealing to me. I unknowingly entered into an amazing book, one that helped an old man, a retired professor, become a student again, a student whose only desire was to know the Lord deeply. I have no words to describe the journey Guardini took me on, reviewing, as he does, the life of Jesus of Nazareth, Son of God, Savior.If you are a prospective reader, you must first be a person of faith, one who yearns for life with God. On the other hand, if you are a critic of measures of faith, Guardini will amaze you with his logic, insight, use of words, and writing skills, but you will miss the depths of meaning that He reveals to those whose lives hunger for God.Reader, I urge you strongly to get the book and, when you do, read it slowly and prayerfully, in bits and pieces, taking time for it to sink into your soul. I genuinely believe you will come away different than when you first picked it up, gulped at its size, and said “Here goes!”

⭐It is difficult to describe such a huge book. This is not a book of evidence and clever thought, this is a book for those who want the ultimate, who are not scared to take a giant leap into the arms of the God who has shown himself in the man Jesus. There is no other. We do not get to change the story to suit our ideas. This is his point, it is either the way God has revealed himself in historic Christianity or it is our way. If it is our way then then we play the role of god over God. Are we man or woman enough to meet the Lord?

⭐This is truly an incredible book. Written by a now-deceased Roman Catholic priest, it contains almost nothing that would not resonate well with any Protestant (I am Protestant, an Anglican priest). The book looks at Jesus in an unique manner, and He comes alive! My understanding of our Lord was greatly enhanced by this experience, and other clergy and lay people have had the same reaction. In short, I simply cannot recommend this book highly enough; it is a must read.

⭐Excellent product

⭐This is a great book for someone wanting to presented with an encounter with Christ, the Christ the Gospels reveal to us. Sections one and three are still amazingly fresh and original. I found two and four to be a little less original and somewhat conditioned by the early 20th century.

⭐This is a book to be read as a chapter a day. Each theme has so much to think about . It conveys as clearly as the limitations of the written word allow the significance of Christ, as God entering history and claiming us with a love unbounded.

⭐Spiritual nourishment after the covid yearEasy to read and very informative

⭐excellent book highly recommend
