LeRon Shults here offers one of the first comprehensive accounts of the relevance of science for contemporary Christology, and vice versa. At once a multifaceted and highly accessible book. -Niels Henrik Gregersen, University of Copenhagen
A clear and imaginative attempt to address some of the central tasks in Christology by employing conceptual resources from the natural sciences. . . . Deserves close attention. -David Ferguson, University of Edinburgh
In this exemplary engagement between Christian theology and contemporary science, via specific case studies involving evolutionary biology, cultural anthropology, and physical cosmology, LeRon Shults offers profound new insights into a Christology for our time. In the process he engages some of the leading figures in theology and science. This book is part of Shultss wider project of reforming Christian theology in dialogue with such philosophical areas as epistemology, ethics, and metaphysics. Essential reading for scholars and laypersons alike who are passionate about theology and science. -Robert John Russell, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley
Christology and Science brings together two topics that for many have nothing to do with each other. Shults innovatively shows how philosophy and contemporary science can help Christians rethink the core of their belief, that is, the science of Christ. Theologians and those involved in the dialogue between religion and science have much to learn from Shultss creative proposal. -Alan G. Padgett, Luther Seminary
Fascinating. . . . Provides challenging reinterpretations that allow for new ways of articulating the significance of Christ. -Dirk Evers, University of Tübingen
