📗 Libro en inglés THE BEAUTY OF CHRIST. A PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE GOSPEL . PROLOGUE BY JULIAN MARÍAS, ROYAL SPANISH ACADEMY TRANSLATED FROM THE SPANISH BY HAROLD C. RALEY

«This book represents an innovative reading of the Gospels, the whole of the New Testament... The starting point of the book is the reading of the New Testament in its original Greek, thus giving each sentence its full meaning and scope... The revelation of the element of beauty that accompanies the figure of Christ and all that has to do with him is surprising and refreshing, from his physical beauty to the beauty of his word, his doctrine, his example and his surroundings where he lived, died and rose again... The chapter devoted to Mary, the Mother of God, Theotókos, is astonishing in its depth and richness. The figure of the Virgin Mary, which is fundamental to Christianity, and especially Catholicism, has always been the greatest glorification of woman and has illuminated that half of Humanity for centuries. This book definitively shows that this glorification comes from the reflection of this individual woman, this human and very real person, whose significance perhaps never before has been shown with such power and clarity»
