| Description: |
Why did Jesus come? The traditional argument is that he came to redeem us from sin and destroy death, and thus reverse the fall. Many have long found this unsatisfactory, because it centres human deficit, rather than divine abundance.
In this study, Samuel Wells traces his notion of 'being with' right into the Trinity itself. In dialogue with Maximus the Confessor, Duns Scotus and Karl Barth, among others, he articulates a Christocentric theology in which God's means and God's ends are identical.
In the process, Wells offers a constructive account of the incarnation, cross and resurrection of Jesus that out-narrates conventional atonement theories. He correspondingly proposes an account of sin, evil, suffering and death that accords with this revised understanding. The result is a compelling and transformational proposal in incarnational theology. |
