Bethlehem: The Sacred Infancy of Our Most Dear and Blessed Redeemer

by Frederick William Faber

The Sacred Infancy of Our Most Dear and Blessed Redeemer is the foundation of all creation. Father Faber explores the hidden meanings of Our Lord's incarnation, birth, infancy, and early life and expands his theme to a wide-ranging discourse on the entire Catholic Faith from the point of view of the Sacred Infancy. Nothing that Jesus did or allowed Himself to undergo is without meaning, and Father Faber explores those hidden meanings with a depth one would hardly believe possible.

About the author

Frederick William Faber, C.O., was a noted English hymn writer and theologian, who converted from Anglicanism to the Catholic priesthood. His best known work is Faith of Our Fathers. Though he was a Roman Catholic writing for fellow Catholics at that point, many of his hymns today are sung by Protestant congregations.

Reviews

[Greta V. · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best books to read during Advent or any other time. F. W. Faber is able to articulate his thoughts with the pencil of a poet and the chisel of a sculptor.
