Description

Drawing its title from the end of the Gospel according to John ?that we might have life in his name’ (Jn 20:31) this book explores many and varied aspects of the new life that opened up in the event of Jesus Christ. The editors, both professors at St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, have gathered contributions for renowned scholars who believe the Christian life is one of faith and reason.
