Download or read book Christ and the End of Meaning written by Paul Hessert and published by HarperElement. This book was released on 1993 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both liberal and conservative churhes offer the world "meaningful Christianity". Hessert argues that "meaning" itself is the problem that Christ and His teachings sought to solve. The Gospel is not about meaning, but an alternative to the very structure and stricture of meaning. He proposes living with patience and passion through joys and suffering--for passion is the life of the soul.
