God and Mystery in Words - Experience Through Metaphor and Drama

Zusatztext It is not possible to read a book by David Brown without being challenged! informed! and provoked to think again about received assumptions and expectations...[it is a] privilege [to be] invited to revisit familiar liturgical experiences in the company of such an engaging companion and to know them as if for the first time.
