At the heart of the Christian faith is the mystery of the Incarnation- God manifesting his love for us by becoming man. In this, the book he had been working on in mouths before his death, Cardinal Basil Hume reflects on the incarnation and its meaning for our lives and for society. He helps us to see that it is this event that should be at the centre of our millenium celebrations, and he encourages us to fix our eyes on Christ, the light of the world.
