Taylor & Francis Ltd Divine Presence As Activity And The Incarnation : Revisiting Chalcedonian Christology

This book offers an original perspective on the doctrine of incarnation through a discussion of divine presence and action, arguing for the plausibility of Chalcedonian Christology.It draws on a range of theological and philosophical sources, from St.Athanasius of Alexandria’s approach regarding the presence of the logos asarkos in the world to the relational understanding of personhood put forward by John Zizioulas, Christos Yannaras and others.The suggestion is that divine presence needs to be understood in consistently Trinitarian terms and the book sets out the possibility of a theology of presence which understands God as present and immanent in the world, while, at the same time, remaining transcendent and ineffable.Alexander Jensen maintains that the classical understanding of divine presence, which sees God as being present according to God’s activity, is much more useful in Christology than today’s predominant modern notion of presence as occupying space, and combines this with an ontological understanding of personhood.The book gives an account of the person and work of Christ that takes seriously the insights of historical research and critical biblical interpretation.It takes seriously the full humanity of Jesus of Nazareth and asserts that in this man we encounter God.It will be of particular interest to systematic theologians, as well as those concerned with the history of Christian theology and philosophical theology.
