"The book is truly an encyclopedic summary of thirteen hundred years of Christian thinking and meditating on the life of Christ." The American Benedictine Review "Probing the spiritual depth of Ludolph's commentaries will open the reader's spirit as he or she encounters Christ in the commentaries. Ludolph seeks to share the eternal Word through the words of his commentary, and it is this desire that each person encounter Christ incarnate, the living Word, that springs from every page." Cistercian Studies Quarterly "This book, and the others in the series, would be very useful for spiritual reading, lectio divina and for preachers, who could look up a passage and gain a good summary of views on the passage and use this in writing their own homily." The Downside Review
