THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF GODIn this book, which can be considered as one of the most original,daring, and signifi cant contributions to contemporary spirituality ingeneral and to Christian theology, philosophy, and anthropology inparticular, Dr. Maalouf s method is neither to build an abstract orutopian system nor to preach or sermonize. His approach is to question,explore, suggest, and invite the readererudite or not, Catholic ornot, politically correct or notto a new level of comprehension andway of seeing things. Whoever, however, and wherever we are, oureveryday lives could become the place and time where the sacredand the secular meet. He proposes that our challenge, then, is howto be Christlike, and not just Christian. Then the true miracle ofChristmas can become the miracle of transformed messengers anda transfi gured world in which all things [come] into being throughhim ( John 1:3).
