Synopsis

Is Christianity a bland, domesticated religion, unthreatening and easy to grasp? Or is it the most exotic, unexpected, and uncanny of religious paths? For the mystics and saints—and for Robert Barron, who discovered Christianity through them—it is surely the strangest way. "At its very center, " writes Barron, "is a God who comes after us with a reckless abandon, breaking open his own heart in love in order to include us in the rhythm of his own life." What could be more compelling?

Goodreads review by Aidan on December 14, 2020

Undeniably pastoral and distinctly cultured, The Strangest Way... is a book I would recommend to most, if not all, Christians searching for something to kickstart or rewire their faith into something bolder and, you know, Christian. I read parts of the first two chapters for a class and decided to r......more

Goodreads review by Richard on January 14, 2014

I very much like Fr. Barron. He is a clear thinker who is very intelligent and has read widely. This comes out in his talks and in this book. One who has heard him speak can hear his voice distinctly in "The Strangest Way" where he tells us that the "odd particularity" of the Christian phenomenon is......more
