Colin E. Gunton Theology Collection (6 vols.)
Overview
Colin E. Gunton was one of the most distinctive and influential voices in British theology. His works have been widely-acclaimed for their penetrating treatment of Christian doctrines (most notably that of the Trinity), and sharp criticism of modernity and its intellectual fallout. Throughout his many works, he maintains a commitment to classical Christian theology and a joyful enthusiasm for fruits of academic inquiry.
The Colin E. Gunton Theology Collection gathers much of this fruit together. Through these six volumes, Gunton’s keen intellect reflects upon such principal theological concerns as the Christian sacraments, Christology, faith, atonement, creation, and the church. The Trinity, as well, is given ample attention as Gunton meditates on these and other paramount issues in Christian doctrine.
Included also is The Theology of Reconciliation, a collection of essays edited by Gunton on the nature of reconciliation throughout several spheres of Christian life and belief. The volume features essays from leading theologians from America and Europe, and Gunton himself contributes the introduction and closing essay.

Also just before his death, King's College had decided to make him a fellow of the college, its highest honor, which was then awarded posthumously.
