The Mystery of Christ . . . and Why We Don't Get It

The Clergy Journal
"Robert Capon . . . has composed a wonderful book that is so full of God's grace that the reader, even those who affirm solo gratis, will be compelled to comment, ‘Hey, we do get it now!' In a simple and enjoyable manner, Capon clarifies the mystery of Christ, namely, that God's grace is free and sufficient to encompass every situation."

Pheme Perkins
--Boston College
"The Mystery of Christ is vintage Capon — wit, compassion, and a firm hold on the fact that the gospel is 'good news' without reserve. Closet Puritans and Pharisees, beware: Father Capon refuses to let guilt sneak in and make a system of redemption out of Christianity."

James A. Carpenter
--General Theological Seminary
"This is an exuberant, triumphant theology. A rigorous Paulinist, Capon is at least half right — a very good score for a theologian!"
