A Fresh Look at the Doctrine of Christ, Essential for Modern
Theological Work Christology was the central doctrine articulated
by the early church councils, and it remains the subject of
vigorous theological investigation today. The study of the doctrine
of Christ is a field of broad ecumenical convergence, inviting
theologians from all denominational settings to fruitful
collaborative exploration. In the contemporary setting, it is
especially crucial for theologians to investigate the scriptural
witness afresh, to retrieve classical criteria and categories from
the tradition, and to consider the generative pressure of
soteriology for Christology proper. The first annual Los Angeles
Theology Conference sought to make a positive contribution to
contemporary dogmatics in intentional engagement with the Christian
tradition. Christology, Ancient and Modern brings together
conference proceedings, surveying the field and articulating the
sources, norms, and criteria for constructive theological work in
Christology.
Explores the structure of human participation in the triune life.
Focuses on the question of describing the 'members' of the Trinity
as 'persons'; how language functions in describing God in such
terms; and the underlying models which shape our theological
perspective.
This book addresses an important topic and fills a major gap in
developments in modern theology and Christian ethics. Significant
treatments include Wolfhart Pannenberg's historical overview of the
relationship between modernism and Christian faith, John Webster's
meticulous analysis of Christian theology's contribution to modern
conceptions of conscience, J. L. O'Donovan's critique of liberal
contractarian theory, and Alasdair MacIntyre's examination of the
critical issues which Christianity raises for secular philosophy.
Specially commissioned by the Editors, this study incorporates
unpublished work by many international scholars of the highest
standing, including Alasdair MacIntyre, Wolfhart Pannenberg,
Stanley Hauerwas, John Webster, Miroslav Volf, Fergus Kerr and
Oliver O'Donovan, as well as chapters by the Editors Michael Banner
and Alan Torrance.

There is a growing awareness of cultural diversity and plurality on
the one hand and shared responsibility for our planet on the other.
The sense of cultural identity exposes the wealth and richness of
our heritage but also introduces its risks, like the proliferation
of often violent independence and separatist movements. A sense of
shared responsibility represents the hope to avoid ecological
catastrophe and highlights the problems of inequality, poverty and
suffering. Is our understanding of cultures and contexts affected,
or even dramatically transformed, by our perception of Christ and
Trinitarian theology? This series of essays addresses the issues of
cultural plurality and diversity, poverty, sexist and racist
oppression and ecological crisis, and aims to discuss the place of
Christ in our understanding of human contextuality. Authors include
Gustavo Gutierrez, Jurgen Moltmann, Johann Metz, Janet Martin
Soskice and John de Gruchy.
