The Christ Who Is Hidden
12 Sermons For The Lord's Supper
Burton F. Blair

The Christ Who Is Hidden is a compilation of sermons that are biblically and theologically grounded, well-structured homiletically and helpful to preacher and laypersons in discerning the presence and love of God. With passion and sensitivity, he assures the reader that there is no personal experience which God does not share with God's children.

"In this series Burton Blair approaches the faith from the perspective of "winter spirituality." In Martin Marty's typology, more than half the Psalms display winter spirituality -- where God appears hidden or absent in the face of distress, perplexity or suffering. Blair meets people in their spiritual winter. His response is not facile or simplistic, but often profound. These sermons make good reading for preachers needing a springboard for sermon preparation. They are even better fare for spiritual pilgrims for whom Christ seems absent."
