Christ and the Catholic Priesthood

Ecclesial Hierarchy and the Pattern of the Trinity

by Matthew Levering

Professor Matthew Levering's book is a must-read not only for priests, seminarians, theologians and theology students, but also for all who desire to enter into a profound questioning and conversation with Catholic wisdom traditions on the priestly mystery of Christ and his Church.  

Catholic and ecumenical in scope, the book is a clear and compelling introduction to the theology of the priesthood.  This work is an important contribution to the renewal of reverent worship at the holy sacrifice of the Mass so earnestly encouraged by Pope Benedict XVI.
