Purchase options and add-ons

More than simply a book about mysticism, Christophany offers the attentive reader a way to experience the mystical depths of life. To know Jesus is to experience Jesus mystical life, in particular to share in divinity, and to know God as "Abba." What happened in the life of Christ will happen in us and, in our transformed lives, God lives in us without us losing our own being.

    Surprised it was disposed of because it was fully marked up with notes so I was disappointed at first then realized it had been very important to someone. And I got over it it’s a 30$ new so the reason I got used. Thank you for sending

    This is one of the most refreshing books I have read in years. Panikkar cuts into the long-standing Christological debates from a new angle - the mystical experience of Christ. 'Christophany' is his term for the attempt to consider orthodox views of Christ from the point of view not of philosophical categories such as substance and nature, but from the divine self-awareness of Jesus as both fully God and human. This allows us to see the dual natures of Christ not as an intellectual paradox but as a manifestation of the eternal Triune reality in the 'fullness' of a human life. Panikkar delves deeply into the mystical passages in the gospel of John where Christ reflects on his relationship with the Father and the world, and shows the mystical experience that is presupposed by these words. As is common in mystical writings, this allows us to transcend some of the dualisms inherent in doctrinal thinking, and see the universality of Christ in the religious experience of the world. This is not cheap pluralism or relativism, but a profound meditation on the relation between the universal and the particular, and the cosmic significance of both 'Jesus' and 'the Christ'. How is the 'man from Galilee' the life and hope of the cosmos? The answer lies within.

    First, let me warn readers that this is my first review of a Theology book. My apologies for any nonsense I may utter here.

    Raimon Panikkar's book left a lasting, profound mark on my understanding of the Christian faith. His scholarship is outstanding, and one can feel that his mysticism is sincere. I agree with other reviewers who complained about the excessive quotations of sacred texts; their multiple translations are sometimes superfluous, especially if the reader does not speak the languages in which those texts are provided (I found the frequent inclusion of two different translations of the Catalan Bible amusing!). In any case, those quotations did not bother me, nor did the convoluted language of some chapters.

    Speaking of the difficult language, it occurs mainly when the book shifts from theology to mysticism (quite often) or when the author tries to circumvent his own difficult opinions on articles of faith in order to make them more palatable.

    Brilliant as this book is, I think Panikkar mystical vision of the "Jesus Event" and his dismissal of the importance of the historic veracity of the New Testament narratives to the Christian faith solve what I call the "Jesus problem" (i.e.: the non-universality of Christ's epiphany) but creates many other problems.

    The easiest to point to is his emphasis on the Trinity, an even more difficult problem (and more manufactured by several Councils) than the historical accuracy of the salvation narrative.

    Likewise, Panikkar fails to prove that his Trinitarian vision is more authentic than the straight forward monotheism of Judaism or Islam.

    Lastly, I find it curious that Panikkar got away with his theology, which seems to me to break completely with the teachings of the Catholic Church. The proponents of Liberation Theology were chastised for much less by the Vatican, and many of them had to leave the clergy. Maybe it was because their message had more practical consequences; maybe it was because their ideas came up outside Europe.

    In any case, I highly recommend this book as a thought provoking gem. I felt the urge to go back to the Scriptures after reading it and I am sure Professor Panikkar would be happy to see me doing so.

    The Rythm of Being is by far my favorite, but this is a close second. I've got 8 or 9 books by Panikkar, but this one is a must read. I'm not looking at them devotionally, but I do continue to read them quite regularly because these are two of the most mind-blowing books I've ever read. You could watch tv and videos on Youtube for the rest of your life, and never come close to the entertainment value contained within these two books.

    Although this book is progressive in spiritual and theological ideas it is very difficult to read for the lay person. We read it in a group, which helped to motivate us to finish it, but had I tried to read it alone I probably wouldn't have finished it, or if I did, it would have taken a very long time. We concluded that Pannikar was really writing for theologians.

    Pannikar is the top of Christian reads for me. Once you've read and grasped what he shares you can't settle for other reads. I liked this more than rhythm of being which completely blew my mind. 1 paragraph at a time is how you read his material. You must think and sink into it's depth. That is what I enjoy. He is rich with content and substance in a way that is beyond mere intellectualizing. Cosmotheandric. This is cosmic. This is real. Goes well with other material like gas goes well with fire.

    This book is fantastic for looking into a positive future when we "shake off our ancient prejudices and build the earth" as de Chardin said so many years ago. It is a must read for Christians who want backgroud for interreligious dialogue.

    This gave me another perspective to consider. I don't have sufficient background to understand everything that was written but did enjoy the work.
