Synopses & Reviews
A reintegrated Christian cosmology, linking God and the world through the creative Word in Christ.
Synopsis
Theological tradition has lost its sense of the created nature of the world, leading to a complete break between the way we know God and the world. The Johannine tradition of creation through the Word and a Eucharistic semiotic of Christ as the embodied creative speech of God serve to reintegrate Christian cosmology. This book sets out a new understanding of reality, as encountered in and through Jesus Christ, and explores new modes of ecclesial reasoning.
