Christology, Ancient & Modern (Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics)

Christology was the central doctrine articulated by the early church councils, and it remains the subject of vigorous theological investigation today. The doctrine of Christ is a field of broad ecumenical convergence, inviting theologians from all denominational settings to fruitful collaborative exploration. In the contemporary setting, it is especially crucial for theologians to investigate the scriptural witness afresh, to retrieve classical criteria and categories from the tradition, and to consider the generative pressure of soteriology for Christology proper. In these proceeding from the first Los Angeles Theology Conference, contributors make analyze contemporary dogmatics in intentional engagement with the Christian tradition. Christology, Ancient and Modern surveys the field and articulates the sources, norms, and criteria for constructive theological work in Christology.
