Is Christianity a bland, domesticated religion, unthreatening and easy to grasp? Or is it the most exotic, unexpected, and uncanny of religious paths? For the mystics and saints - and for Robert Barron, who discovered Christianity through them - it is surely the strangest way. "At its very center", writes Barron, "is a God who comes after us with a reckless abandon, breaking open his own heart in love in order to include us in the rhythm of his own life." What could be more compelling?

Barron cites BobDylan, Dante, Flannery O’Connor, Scripture, movies and more! Benedict XVI wisely said to be a Christian isn’t about philosophy, but a friendship with the living Christ.



Great read for those curious about Christianity

Excellent. We are drawn to God, we are healed, we discover our mission, and the process eventually answers the question asked about the Crucifix by a non-Christian (CH 1?). This "Strange Way" offers an interesting contrast to the oft mentioned way: purgation, illumination, union. Barron provides a description of each path on the 'Strangest Way', as well as, methods to progress along each path of the 'Way'. And, along this way he intertwines excellent mini summaries of Brideshead Revisited, Dante's 'Divine Comedy' and Flannery O'Conner's 'The Violent Bear It Away''; which are worth the price of the book alone. I had the book once when I read it years ago, but the audio recording brought it home in a new way.

Bishop Barron is being for many people like me (the generation of dumb catholicism) the gentle apostle who guide us through history, literature, art, theology and the beauty of the Word to help us truly appreciate and return to the faith so we can be the hands of Jesus in this world.

Catholic Faith Brilliantly explained
