Sobre este producto
  • God is infinite—and we are not. In truth, God is Mystery That simple yet profound reality lies at the heart of Embracing Mystery: The Bare Bones Catholic, a reflective and personal exploration of faith by Judith Dunlap. Too often, we forget that God cannot be fully explained or contained by human words, doctrines, or images. We shape the Divine into something more manageable—a comforting Santa Claus, a harsh judge, or a reflection of our own flawed parents. We lose sight of the awe-filled truth that God is beyond all imagining. Dunlap invites readers to return to the foundation of faith: to embrace the mystery rather than solve it. Drawing from her thirty years of ministry within the Catholic Church as well as her background in theological studies, Dunlap reflects on the foundational doctrines that define Christianity—God as Mystery, the Incarnation, the Trinity, the Paschal Mystery, and the Sacraments—and reintroduces them in a way that is both accessible and profound. Through personal stories, theological insight, and gentle humor, she helps readers see that these mysteries are not puzzles to be decoded but living truths that continue to unfold in every age. As “the bare bones Catholic,” Dunlap writes about the basic yet essential issues of the Catholic faith, without getting involved in the conflicting discussion of marginal religious issues. Each chapter begins with a glimpse from the author’s own journey, connecting the grand ideas of theology to the ordinary experiences of life: love and letting go, prayer and disappointment, belonging and wonder. Through these stories, Dunlap demonstrates how mystery permeates every part of our existence—how our yearning to know and be known, to love and be loved, to connect and belong, point us toward the Infinite. While rooted in Catholic tradition, Embracing Mystery reaches beyond denominational lines. Readers from all mainline Christian backgrounds will find resonance in its message that faith is not about having all the answers. It is learning to live in a loving relationship with the One who is beyond all comprehension. Faith is about sharing that love we have for God and the love God has for us with all we encounter. With Dunlap’s Franciscan background that means taking in all of creation. It means taking care of our environment, thinking beyond our own generations to all the generations to come. Faith leads us outside of ourselves, letting go of an unlimited need for power, money, or acquisitions. It leads us to be a light in the world, working for justice for all people, excluding no one. At a time when many are questioning what life is all about or find themselves questioning their own faith, Dunlap offers a voice of clarity and compassion. She reminds us that the mysteries of faith are not barriers to understanding—they are invitations to become our best selves, the persons we were created to be. For anyone seeking a deeper, humbler, and more authentic spirituality, Embracing Mystery: The Bare Bones Catholic is a companion on the lifelong journey of faith—a call to rest, at last, in the unexplainable embrace of the mystery that is God.
