On the Grace and Humanity of Jesus — Maritain’s luminous
Thomist meditation, in its 1969 HCDJ first English edition.
Maritain’s voice moves through these pages with the clarity
of a bell struck in a quiet chapel—steady, thoughtful, and deeply human. On
the Grace and Humanity of Jesus is his attempt to speak of mystery without
diminishing it, to trace the contours of Christ’s divinity and earthbound
tenderness in language shaped by Thomist precision and contemplative warmth.
This 1969 hardcover carries the marks of its long service in a library, but the
interior remains a faithful vessel for Maritain’s luminous thought. It is a
book for readers who seek not only theology, but the quiet resonance of a mind
kneeling before the mystery it studies.
For readers drawn to Thomism, Christology, and the
contemplative clarity of Jacques Maritain’s theological voice.
