Schillebeeckx's theology is a reflection on the nature of God who
is both creator and redeemer: his theology is a treatise' on the
God who is God for humanity. This means of course that his theology
is always both a reflection on the nature of God and on the meaning
of humanity; and hence there is a theological anthropology at the
centre of his whole theological enterprise. The definition' of
humanity is given in the relationship between the mystery of God
the God who is both transcendent and immanent and the mystery of
humanity. For Schillebeeckx, the meaning of humanity is revealed
and established in the mystery of God as a vocation to intimacy
with God. This intimacy is described both as a dependence upon God
and as a situated freedom, and hence the description of humanity
which emerges from Schillebeeckx's treatise on God holds together
humanity's metaphysical and moral significance. At the heart of
this theocentric anthropology is its christological structure.
Schillebeeckx develops a sacramental christology in light of his
interpretation of Christ's incarnation. The relation of incarnation
to the death, resurrection and glorification of Christ establishes
a sacramental theological anthropology. The meaning of humanity is
given in its creative, salvific, sanctifying, participative and
personal relation to the God who is God both of creation and of
covenant. This book develops an interpretation of Schillebeeckx's
theological anthropology by analysing his theology of revelation
and grace, and by examining the christological structure of his
theology. This christology centres on an interpretation of the
incarnation in which the fully personal nature of Christ's humanity
is key. This christology establishes the sacramental nature of
humanity and hence Schillebeeckx's description of the meaning of
human nature is also a theological description of the meaning of
human action.
