Synopsis

A fresh look at Christ’s nature and his role in history, helping you understand how faith and reason meet in modern theology.

This book surveys how theologians debate the core of Christianity, focusing on Christology, the concept of preexistence versus a richer sense of presence, and the way Paul’s writings frame Jesus’ place in creation and redemption. It weighs arguments from Harnack and his critics, and it traces how contemporary scholars seek a more dynamic picture of who Christ is and how that identity informs the gospel.

• Clear explanations of major theological questions about Christ’s eternity, presence, and relationship to God the Father.


• Discussion of how different schools of thought view the origin and development of Christian doctrine.


• Connections between biblical texts, historical debates, and the ongoing task of theology to interpret Christ for today.


• Insight into how the idea of Christ as pre-present and pre-potent offers a bridge between ancient faith and modern understanding.

Ideal for readers of theology, church history, and anyone seeking a thoughtful, accessible study of Christ’s role in the eternal order.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Almost from boyhood the writer has been concerned in finding a mental setting for Jesus Christ. Sometimes it has been a disturbing, but more often a stimulating, pi Aoblem. The problem arose apparently from the absorption of his earlier religious life in God as Presence and Father, and the difficulty in finding such a place beside him for Christ as the Bible and the Church seemed to require. For a time the words, Believe in God, believe also in me, afforded temporary standing-room. The first clear light on the intellectual problem came, after entering the ministry, through reading Frederick Denison Maurice s Theological Essays, in connection with the words in Colossians, Christ in you, the hope of glory. The result was a great illumination of mind and uplift of heart. The difficulty of accounting for Christ in the contrasted aspects of his historical limitation and his universal significance largely disappeared. The conclusions reached were presented in an article entitled The Indwelling Christ, published in The Andover Review for A ugust, 1891, and met with a very warm response. The substance of this article is included in Chapter II, Part III of this volume.
