Sinopsis

The way Christ is understood is at the heart of Christian faith andself-understanding. It forms the basis of Christologies that can rangefrom the most traditional, expressing the understanding Christ as bothhuman and divine person, to the most liberal, where Christ isunderstood as divine inasmuch as he is a man who is perfectly obedientto the will of God. Our images of Christ inevitably bear on theparticular culture in which we are situated. So, it is somewhatsurprising that the science and religion dialogue has focused most ona doctrine of God, while rarely addressing the figure of Christ.

This book sets out to develop a Christology that is far more consciousof the evolutionary history of humanity and current evolutionarytheories about the natural world in general. It argues that one meansof developing a Christology that can be informed by such theories isthrough the concepts of wisdom and wonder. Both have a definedtheological role but also act as mediating concepts with science andpoint to a spirituality that incorporates both science and theology.
