This is a new, that is, corrected and updated, edition of a book
first published in 1979. It has been recast in inclusive language.
As a systematic treatment of the theology of grace, it concentrates
on what may be termed the key question in this branch of theology,
the person of Jesus as the arena where the full drama of the
interaction of God and humanity is played out. The book breaks new
ground in that it attacks the long-standing dichotomy between the
Incarnation and grace, and offers a new principle of
synthesisation. This principle is that the Holy Spirit is Spirit of
Sonship primarily for Jesus himself, so that it is the creative
outpouring of the Spirit on him by the Father that brings about the
Incarnation. The Spirit is seen as the Spirit of filiation for
others only in function of his role in relation to Jesus. A more
profound interpretation of the patristic expression ""sons and
daughters in the Son"" emerges from this study. While the book is
situated in the Catholic tradition, its ecumenical implications are
manifold.
