Joseph the Silent

Product Description

This French Dominican writer brings together many insights into the life of St. Joseph. Written in 30 chapters averaging five to six pages each, we experience St. Josephs life in all its facets. Beginning with St. Josephs prefiguring in the Old Testament, the author sweeps through the Gospels for every possible shred of evidence that links St. Joseph to salvation history. His work as a carpenter, his marriage, his character, the flight into Egypt, his return to Nazareth and then to Jerusalem, Simeons prophecy, are all presented in an extremely detailed narrative. The result is a superbly translated (from the original French) book that holds the readers attention and fills one with wonder at this extraordinary man of whom the Gospels never record a single word.
