In Friendship of Christ, Robert Hugh Benson, an educated man from Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, takes us on a transformative journey through faith. Ordained an Anglican priest in 1895 by his father, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Benson experienced a profound conversion to Roman Catholicism eight years later, leading to his ordination as a Roman Catholic priest in 1904. Settling in Cambridge, he became the unofficial chaplain for Roman Catholic students. Despite his short life, Benson was a remarkable writer, crafting works that range from devotional literature to historical fiction and even science fiction. This particular book, inspired by his sermons delivered in London and Rome in 1910 and 1911, explores the deep, personal relationship one can have with Jesus Christ. In its pages, Benson illuminates the purgative and illuminative paths to Christ and reveals the many ways in which He extends His friendship to us today—through the Eucharist, the Church, the priest, the saints, the sinners, and even the ordinary person. In the concluding section, he reflects on Christs ultimate act of friendship His willingness to embrace death on the cross for our salvation, and the promise of everlasting life He offers to His friends.
