| Summary: | This is a study in traditional Christology. It examines, often in minute detail, the Church's tradition, especially the medievals and the Fathers. But its arguments and conclusions are often far from conventional. The title of this book, a sequel to her Horrendous Evils and the Goodness of God, underlines the dramatic style of much of the narrative, and the dedication to John Hick and Allan Wolters—scholars with very different styles of theology—highlights the wide range and imaginative power which characterizes all of Professor Adams's work., Adams introduces Christology as natural theology, the key to explanation in Christian theology. Here is ‘sceptical realism’, between pluralism and literalism. Scripture and tradition count. |
