Significant advances in science bring new understandings of the
human as a unity of mind, body and world and calls into question
the deep-seated dualistic presuppositions of modern theology.
Oliver Davies argues that the changing framework allows a return to
the defining question of the Easter Church: 'Where is Jesus
Christ?'. This is a question which can bring about a fundamental
re-orientation of theology, since it gives space for the
theological reception of the disruptive presence of the living
Christ as the present material as well as formal object of theology
in the world. At the centre of this study therefore is a new
theology of the doctrine of the exaltation of Christ, based upon St
Paul's encounter with the exalted or commissioning Christ on the
road to Damascus. This places calling and commissioning at the
centre of systematic theology. It provides the ground for a new
understanding of theology as transcending the Academy-Church
division as well as the divide between systematic and practical
theology. It points also to a new critical theological method of
engagement and collaboration. This book begins to explore new forms
of world-centred theological rationality in the contexts not only
of scripture, doctrine, anthropology, ecclesiology and faith, but
also of Christian politics and philosophy. It is a work of
contemporary and global Christological promise in Fundamental
Theology, and is addressed to all those who are concerned, from
whichever denomination, with the continuing vitality of
Christianity in a changing world.
