Weaving pneumatological, teleological, eschatological, anthropological, and ecological strands into his Christology, Gunton draws from and interacts with a wide range of theologians, from ancient to modern – Paul, Irenaeus, Augustine, Anslem, Aquinas, Calvin, Schleiermacher, Barth, Moltmann, Pannenberg, Thomas, Torrance, John Robinson and many others.
Praise for the Print Edition
…a theological masterpiece in miniature…
—Catalyst
Constituting the published version of the 1990 Didsbury Lectures delivered by Gunton at the Nazarene College, Manchester, Christ and Creation offers thought-provoking reflections on major theological themes and realities: creation, redemption, the Trinity, “horizontal” and “vertical” relatedness; Christ’s incarnation, virgin birth, passion, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension; election, freedom, the kingdom of God and the church.
…a fresh, provocative, and stimulating account of the relation between Christ and creation… Christ and Creation is a highly commendable resource for seminarians, ministers and pastors, and the church at large.
—Benjamin W. Farley, Erskine College
