One could only dare to presume that this study authored by Father Raymond G. Helmick, S.J. is meant as an intellectual exercise, determined to decipher the meaning of several enigmatic biblical passages. Although he brilliantly accomplishes this exegetic goal, what is more powerful in his brief and yet profound account is the perception of a God who manifests Himself not as a--mysterium tremendum et fascinans--just to use Rudolf Otto?s widely quoted expression from his Das Heilige--but as a Sacrificial God who, emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant (Philippians 2:5-11), and who has borne our grief and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4), to empower the human being against fear of existential death.? ?Irineu Ion Popa, Archbishop of Craiova and Metropolitan of Oltenia, Member of the Romanian Academy
