Christology and Science
LeRon ShultsPaperback 2008-06-09
Publisher Description
F. LeRon Shults here breaks new ground by explicitly bringing specific themes of Christology - Incarnation, Atonement, and Parousia - into dialogue with contemporary science - evolutionary biology, cultural anthropology, and physical cosmology. ?Shults skillfully summarizes some of the popular constructive responses to these developments, offering a unique organization around three concrete case studies. After clarifying the way in which Christian understandings of God and of humanity shape the task of reforming Christology, each chapter concludes with a programmatic outline of ways in which we might articulate the identity, agency, and presence of Jesus Christ in dialogue with late modern science and culture.
