Word and Mystery: Biblical Essays on the Person and Mission of Christ (edited by Leo J. O'Donovan) is a collection of scholarly essays that explore the foundational Christian understanding of Jesus Christ. The volume includes reflections on how the New Testament authors, particularly through the lens of the Church's tradition, understood and passed on the significance of Jesus. Essentially, the book aims to deepen the understanding of how Jesus, as the incarnate Word, reveals the Father's love and accomplishes the salvation of humanity.It focuses on the intersection of the Word (Scripture/Logos) and the Mystery (the divine plan of salvation revealed in Christ).
