Description

This book is the fruit of a close collaboration between three leading scholars with a background in systematics, philosophical theology and ethics. It sets out a new account of how incarnation is mediated in the world of space and time, leading to a new orientation of theology within the world. The doctrinal ("from above") and philosophical ("from below") sections lead to a new exposition of Christian life in confrontation with deepseated problems of ethics and justice. The three pieces closely interweave with each other in the elaboration of a new kind of practical, doctrinal theology of full philosophical integrity.

Reviews

"As a riposte to much recent theology this has substantial value." - Theology
"...the book is refreshing in its criticism of theology as being out of touch with the lived world. The book's presentation of divine revelation as a "wound of knowledge," as a rupture within thought itself, is especially interesting...I look forward to reading the rest of the series." -Gemma Tulud Cruz, Theological Studies, March 2009
