Jesus' particular Jewish existence (his human nature) and his
universal transcendence (his divine nature) are brought together
here in the construction of a Christology that proposes the
equality, unity, and full participation of both natures. Using
frameworks from multicultural theory, it identifies the processes
by which Christologies have historically negotiated difference in
the Incarnation, and explains why uniting the two natures of Christ
consistently and problematically supplants Jesus' Jewishness. This
conceptual framework unites the two natures without sublimating
their differences, by proposing a contextual universalism.
'Overlapping membership' offers the means whereby the particular,
Jewish, human nature and the universal, divine nature of Jesus
Christ engage in an ongoing dialogue and formation in the one
person of the Incarnation. This work offers a new way of
understanding the two natures of Christ that brings together
historical understandings with contemporary contextual
Christologies, enabling us to find a way to understand Christ as
both truly human and fully divine.

Contributors to this book analyze areas of Martin Luther’s and
Lutheran theology that have otherwise been neglected or
under-represented in the five hundred years since the Reformation.
They widen the scope of Luther and Lutheran theology by viewing
both from the perspectives of the “subaltern,” those whose
voices are barely or rarely heard. The book formulates an inclusive
Lutheran theology that reaches out but does not close out. The
book’s sections address “Precarious Life,” from Luther’s
own precarious existence as an outlaw under a death sentence;
“Body and Gender,” addressing different aspects of gender and
sexuality; “Women and Sexual Abuse,” focusing on Luther’s
exegesis of biblical “texts of terror”; and “Economy,
Equality, and Equity,” addressing Lutheran views on economy and
equality that break new ground regarding common goods and the
Anthropocene.
