HUMANISING THE DIVINE: volume one
In this first book of a series (Explorations in Theology), Martin Scott begins by placing Jesus at the centre of theology. He maintains that Jesus is presented in Scripture as both the image of God and the image of true humanity. God was ‘humanised’ through the Incarnation, and through the cross, a roadblock was placed on humanity’s road to destruction.
There are some fresh perspectives on Judas, Peter and Cornelius in the middle chapters, suggesting that salvation is much more to do with a call to join a movement; a movement to work for the restoration of humanity, than a ticket to heaven. The final chapter takes the reader into the next publication.
ABOUT THE SERIES:
Explorations in Theology is a series of short books that offer some fresh perspectives on common themes. They are certainly not the final word, but are intended to open possibilities beyond a theology that selects a narrow set of ‘proof-texts’ (while ignoring others). Written in simple language, never demanding agreement with the author, they will become a resource to develop one’s own convictions.
