There is something about the mystery of God's wisdom -- a wisdom that was secret and hidden but which God had ordained from time immemorial for our glory. This wisdom was finally revealed in Christ and it intrigued and fascinated St. Paul. He was so enthralled by the insights which came to him the more he contemplated the mystery that he could not wait to share the good news with the world. In Christ, through His Holy Spirit and the gracious gift of God the Father, we are to share in the divine life of the Trinity and live with God forever. All of these matters are dealt with at length by Father Maloney in this timely new work which provides the answers many seek regarding the purpose of life and the ultimate goal of the universe.

Reviews

"How St. Paul helps us step into the Third Millennium: Worth the price if only for its 6-page 'Glossary' included as an appendix: Insightful new book by theologian, author and spiritual director, Fr. George A. Maloney, S.J. (director of Contemplative Ministries, Seal Beach, CA). Title: The Mystery of Christ in You: The Mystical Vision of Saint Paul. The book explores the deep attraction to and insight into God's mysteries revealed in Christ -- gifts given to St. Paul. Its 8 chapters take a fresh look at what it means to live "In Christ" and the implications of that mystery for Christians living in the world (in any age). Chapters also include theological exploration of the Holy Spirit ("Gift of God's Love"), as well as the cosmic and eschatological dimension of Paul's mysticism. A careful, readable new work on Paul that can open new doors of understanding regarding this great Saint and his teachings -- and gives renewed meaning to membership in the Body of Christ today. Of Note: The Glossary brings an experienced teacher's light to the many terms encountered in Paul's writings; clear, brief explanations based in Church teaching/history while touching on daily life." --Crux of the News, July 20, 1998 

"Many people today are seeking answers to questions about the purpose of life and the ultimate goal of the universe as we approach the third millennium. Father Maloney's book attempts to make Paul's mystical vision of our mysterious indwelling union with Jesus Christ more easily understood. He is aware that he is writing about a mystery and that everything the reader may seek will not be found here. The book is, however, an insightful work on Pauline theology of Church and life in Christ. Recommended for all mature readers." --Arnold Rzepecki in Catholic Library World, December 1998
