The Mystical Christ: Introduction To The Study Of The Supernatural Character Of The Church is a book written by John C. Gruden. This book is an in-depth exploration of the supernatural character of the church and its relationship with Jesus Christ. The author argues that the church is not just a human institution, but rather a mystical body that is united with Christ. Gruden delves into the history of the church, examining the teachings of the early church fathers and the development of Christian theology over the centuries. He also explores the role of the sacraments in the life of the church and their connection to the mystical body of Christ. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the biblical foundations of the mystical body of Christ, while the second part examines the historical development of this concept. The third part is a practical application of the mystical body of Christ to the life of the church today. Overall, The Mystical Christ is a scholarly and thought-provoking exploration of the supernatural character of the church. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Christian theology and the history of the church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
