Christ the Key
Kathryn Tanner
Cambridge University Press, 2009-12-10 - 309 pages
Through
the intensely intimate relationship that arises between God and humans
in the incarnation of the Word in Christ, God gives us the gift of God's
own life. This simple claim provides the basis for Kathryn Tanner's
powerful study of the centrality of Jesus Christ for all Christian
thought and life: if the divine and the human are united in Christ, then
Jesus can be seen as key to the pattern that organizes the whole, even
while God's ways remain beyond our grasp. Drawing on the history of
Christian thought to develop an innovative Christ-centered theology,
this book sheds fresh light on major theological issues such as the
imago dei, the relationship between nature and grace, the Trinity's
implications for human community, and the Spirit's manner of working in
human lives. Originally delivered as Warfield Lectures at Princeton
Theological Seminary, it offers a creative and compelling contribution
to contemporary theology.
