Grace Hamman, Jesus through Medieval Eyes: Beholding Christ with the Artists, Mystics, and Theologians of the Middle Ages (Zondervan, 2023)
Summary: A Protestant looks at the Catholic intellectual tradition of the Middle Ages and finds it to be good.
Key Quote: “I offer only a sample of the Jesus metaphors the medieval church used. Like catching a piece of a reflection in a broken mirror, each representation catches and renders an aspect of a Christ bigger, more beautiful, more glorious than any of them could separately communicate.” - p. 186
Bottom Line: Read this book if you want to think about how Protestants should think about their Catholic heritage.
