Jesus Through The Centuries – Jaroslav Pelikan, 1985 ★★★

A Savior for all Seasons

For many centuries people strived and died to embrace Him. Today, they often struggle as hard to quit Him. All the time, His image keeps popping up like that of some genial, persistent old boyfriend.

Just how does one see the world through the prism of Jesus Christ?

Mary Through The Centuries – Jaroslav Pelikan, 1996 ★★
