The Strangest Way: Walking the Christian Path

In the modern world, Christianity has come to be seen by many as an unintellectual, uninspiring, and unthreatening worldview. But the classical tradition of mystics and scholars reveals something quite different: the most engaging, surprising, and strange of all the religious paths. The Strangest Way: Walking the Christian Path by Bishop Robert Barron is an instructive guide through the breathtaking reality of what it means to be a Christian: to be holy with the very holiness of God, which means conformity with love unto death. Speaking not just as a theologian or a preacher but as a pastor, Bishop Barron lays out his famous three paths to holiness―finding the center, knowing you’re a sinner, and realizing your life is not about you―and concretizes them with practical actions. “Whatever Christianity is,” Bishop Barron writes in his concluding meditation, “it is something strange.” Drawing on literary masters such as Evelyn Waugh and spiritual masters such as Thomas Merton, Bishop Barron invites readers to intimacy with God through imitation of his own self-gift in Christ.
