The Mystical Body Of Christ

First published in 1935, The Mystical Body of Christ captures the theological brilliance of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen (1895 - 1979), the nationally renowned Catholic television and radio evangelist. The book's themes of the Eucharist as a source of unity for the Mystical Body of Christ - the Church - and the link between the liturgy and works of social justice were echoed in the Second Vatican Council several decades later and remain vital to Catholics today.
