A short book, 104 pages, published by Sebastian Press at Los Angeles. The publisher presents it as a look back over his theology: personhood as an ecstatic and hypostatic way of being that is not bound by necessity, restored in Christ, which leads to the Church as a community in which nature is referred to God through human persons, and so to a Church that is eucharistic by nature.
