Christian devotion is theology prayed.
In this book, the Rev. Addison Hodges Hart explores the biblical and traditional theology underlying the venerable devotion of the Rosary, including the five new Mysteries added in 2003 by Pope John Paul II. Each of the 20 Mysteries is viewed together with its sources in Scripture, and with the insights of the Fathers of the Church and later theologians. Not only a devotional tool, the Rosary draws us into a deeper encounter with Christ and the faith of the ancient Church.
Aimed at an ecumenical readership, Hart seeks to immerse the reader in the mystical mind of the Church, drawing on numerous resources from the Christian East and West.
Addison Hodges Hart is a retired priest living in Norway. He was a Contributing Editor for * A Journal of Mere Christianity* for twelve years.
