Within each of the four gospels there is a foundational spirit, a rich spirituality based on each gospel's unique understanding of Jesus and what it means to be his disciple. In this study, Fr. Patrick Hartin looks at each gospel and asks such questions as Who is Jesus? and What transformation does this encounter with Jesus invite? Hartin thoroughly unpacks these questions, and then follows with examples of people who embody the transformative power of these spiritualities, from Saint Francis and Dorothy Day to Saint Augustine and Archbishop Romero. Hartin's twofold approach gives us a deeper appreciation for the spiritual dimension of the gospels and helps us to be transformed in Christ by their message and vision. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included. 6 lessons.
