The following reflections
explore some relationships between the life and person of Christ and the work of words and
writing. They are not intended to provide a theology of writing per se, which would
have to include the much larger canon of scripture, such as the Book of Proverbs
and James' epistle on the work of the tongue. Instead, these reflections ask us not
only to look at the way words surround Jesus but also to explore how our gifts and
struggles as writers may give us further insight into Jesus the Word made flesh.
