In this powerful book on the experience of desolation John Colwell
focuses on Psalm 22, read in the light of his own struggle with
bi-polar disorder and the Christian belief that God the Son
suffered in his humanity, to offer existential-theological
reflections on the experience of God-forsakenness. 'My concern in
writing this book and reading this psalm is to reflect on the felt
experience of God-forsakenness, my own and that of Christ in the
light of this psalm; to explore the theological and spiritual
significance of this felt experience for myself, for Christ, for
Christians generally. If this exploration proves to be helpful to
me or to others then obviously I am glad, but I am not writing this
book to be helpful but rather to be truthful (and perhaps hopeful).
This is a personal journey of reflection with a psalm which I
invite you, the reader, to share if you will.'
Traditionally systematic theology is structured around the Creed?'s
articles. While this approach has its benefits it is not without
flaws. One weakness is that the roots of theology in Christian
worship can be lost sight of and discussions become abstract. But
there is another way to structure systematic theology, an approach
explicitly rooted in the rhythm of the pattern of liturgy.John
Colwell provides a short, inspiring introduction to a systematic
theology that is built around the worshipful rhythms of the
Christian Year. Chapters include the one who comes (Advent); the
One who takes our humanity (Christmas); the one who is revealed
(Epiphany); the one who journeys to the cross (Lent); the one who
lives and reigns (Easter); the one who indwells and transforms
(Pentecost); and the one who invites us into communion ('All Saints
Day'). In this ancient-future way Christian worship, theology and
discipleship are woven into a seamless garment.
