Guided by the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, and aided by commentary from the Church Fathers, Walter Farrell, O.P., produces a work of exceptional value both for devotional practice and for historical interest. With the four Gospel accounts providing his work’s basic structure, Farrell amplifies the “greatest story ever told” with elaborations on tradition. Especially noteworthy is his commentary and preaching on the role of Mary, Mother of God; on the hidden life of Christ; and on the revelation which Christ, fully God and fully man, gives of what it means to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt pleased the almighty God to stake the salvation of man on the response of the virgin of Nazareth… When that answer was given, the Son of God was made man; this was the first instant of the life of Christ. \u003c\/i\u003e(W\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ealter Farrell, O.P.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIts composition abruptly ended by Farrell’s untimely death in 1951, \u003ci\u003eOnly Son \u003c\/i\u003ewas completed in 1953 with two chapters from the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eCompanion to the Summa\u003c\/i\u003e.
