In An Augustinian Christology: Completing
Christ, Joseph Walker-Lenow advances a striking
christological thesis: Jesus Christ, true God and true human, only
becomes who he is through his relations to the world around him. To
understand both his person and work, it is necessary to see him as
receptive to and determined by the people he meets, the
environments he inhabits, even those people who come to worship
him. Christ and the redemption he brings cannot be understood apart
from these factors, for it is through the existence and
agency of the created world that he redeems. To pursue these
claims, Walker-Lenow draws on an underappreciated resource in the
history of Christian thought: St. Augustine of Hippo's theology of
the 'whole Christ.' Presenting Augustine's christology across the
full range of his writings, Joseph Walker-Lenow recovers a
christocentric Augustine with the potential to transform our
understandings of the Church and its mission in our world.
