 | Incarnation Deeply engaged with the classical tradition and the contemporary world, the book leads readers into critical explorations and debates of the concept of "deep incarnation"--the view that the divine incarnation in Jesus presupposes a radical embodiment that reaches into the roots of material and biological existence, as well as into the darker sides of creation. Such a wide-scope view of incarnation allows Christology to be relevant and meaningful when responding to the challenges of scientific cosmology and global religious pluralism: How does the revelation of the love of God in Christ relate to other experiences of communicative love and ethical sensitivity, to suffering and joy?; In what sense does God's Logos and Wisdom "becoming flesh" include the world of "all flesh"--from grass to human persons; What are the connections between a Logos Christology and the informational aspects of the universe--those exemplified in its deep mathematical structures as well as those emerging in biological evolution?; In brief, how does "high" and "low" meet and mingle in the story of incarnation? |
