This work demonstrates the significance of Karl Barth's Christology
by examining it in the context of his orientation toward the
classical tradition - an orientation that was both critical and
sympathetic. To compare this Christology with the doctrine's
history, Sumner suggests first that the Chalcedonian portrait of
the incarnation is conceputally vulnerable at a number of points.
By recasting the doctrine in actualist terms - the history of
Jesus' lived existence as God's fulfillment of His covenant with
creatures, rather than a metaphysical uniting of natures - Barth is
able to move beyond problems inherent in the tradition. Despite a
number of formal and material differences, however, Barth's
position coheres with the intent of the ancient councils and ought
to be judged as orthodox. Barth's great contribution to Christology
is in the unapologetic affirmation of 'the humanity of God'.
