Symbols of Jesus: A Christology of Symbolic EngagementCambridge University Press, 2001 - 291 páginas This is a systematic theology focusing on what makes Jesus important in Christianity. Robert Cummings Neville, a leading philosophical theologian, presents and illustrates a theory of religious symbols according to which God is directly engaged in symbolically shaped thinking and practice.Christian symbolism is shown to be wholly compatible with a late-modern scientific world view. This major work re-shapes the way we think about Jesus, and will be of value to students, academics, clergy with theological training, and others grappling with the meaning and importance of religious symbols in our age. |
