Can you sum up Christianity in a single word?
This is something only God could do-and he did so in the first century through the writings of his apostles. "God in a Word: Five Meditations on the Incarnation of Christ" cracks the first verses of the Gospel of John wide open, spilling light on a mystery of the faith that has both challenged church fathers and strengthened the faith of common believers for two thousand years.
