The discussion of the hypostatie union is unusually complete: the question of Christ as head of the Church takes up about twenty pages, the Scientia Christi about thirty pages. In the part dealing with the mystery of the Redemption, the author discusses the various aspects of the mystery such as the death of Christ and His descent into hell, Christ as King and Judge. That the subject is important is a truism for every theologian. That ii is clearly and comprehensively treated is assured by the fact that it comes from the pen of Father Garrigou-Lagrange.
