"A remarkable book."Theological Studies
"Pizzuto demonstrates a wide expanse and great depth of knowledge
regarding contemplative spirituality."Catholic Book Review
"A magnificent, nutritious book of spiritual counsel, both
visionary and compassionate! Contemplating Christ patiently trains
us to rethink familiar texts, feelings, and attitudes by recovering
the grandeur of the cosmic Christ from the Gospels, the hymn of
Colossians 1, and the teachers of ancient Christianity. This work
of mystagogy grasps anew the `transgressive' power of the
Incarnation that `has made mystics of us all, ' and offers
practical ways to live into our wondrous `divinized' identity after
baptism. At the same time, it performs microsurgery upon our
spiritual practices and predilections (its rethinking of asceticism
and of demonic power is particularly fine). Like an ancient
painting restored, vivid colors burst anew from the countercultural
beauty of the Gospel. A feast for the spirit!"Michael Cameron,
Professor of Historical Theology, University of Portland
