| Resumo: | This article is a theological response to the Christological perspective of Oliver Davies’ provocative book, Theology of Transformation. More specifically, Macchia addresses Davies’ argument that transformation theology is a theology of the act, of Christ who acts, an argument that is explicated in three points of emphasis: 1. The living Christ is exalted and present among us. 2. The act is not an abstract concept but is real and embodied. 3. This is act as Christologically formed, meaning as resembling self-sacrificial love. While Macchia offers several critiques of the book, he notes in agreement with Davies that Jesus as the living Lord powerfully present in the church and beyond as the source of new life in the Spirit has always been a Pentecostal point of emphasis. |
