A meeting with Jesus... This book was written for all those who - like the author - have been dazzled in their faith by the ardent and subtle testimony which is St. John's Gospel, and fascinated by the disturbing figure of Jesus, who appears in it as a simple disciple, sharing the life of a little community in Asia Minor in the first century of our times. Jean Mansir, far from dispensing a lesson in exegetics, takes us straight to the heart of the matter: the person of Christ. Many questions are raised on the way: why does the evangelist define Christ right from the start as the ‘Logos' incarnate? How could the Son of Man refer to himself saying, like the burning bush in the Horeb desert, ‘I am' and claim to be ‘the Son'?... So many mysteries we enter into, step by step, in this subtle meditation inspired by St. John's gospel. A magnificent spiritual and theological itinerary leads to the discovery of Jesus' face.
