Description

This new theology reflects the many recent advances in our scientific understanding of what it is to be an embodied human being in the world. These bring us back to the question 'Where is Jesus Christ' and the emphasis upon the 'commissioning' Christ of calling and vocation of early Christianity. Theology of Transformation is both a systematic and a practical theology of active discipleship and vocation which, as a renewal of Christology, has implications acrossthe full range of theological topics. The author argues that in our globalising world, contemporary Christian theology needs to reflect the science of our own day which points to the universal primacyof action in human life and experience. This allows the return of academic theology into the body of the Church in ways that are relevant across all the denominations and across the cultural and geographical boundaries of the old world and the new.
