Transformation Theology: Church in the World

by Oliver Davies, Paul D. Janz, Clemens Sedmak

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

."..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
