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

by Frederick William Faber

Fr. 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 Fr. Faber explores those hidden meanings with a profundity 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.
