[Othy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this theology uninteresting and somewhat confusing. The first half of the book is dedicated to prolegomena, much of which is biblical studies and epistemology. In the former, Helminiak gives away far too much ground to secular historical criticism, and in the latter he divides knowledge in a way that may be anachronistic (that the Bible was written in a culture that could only understand God as a personal choice). The second half is Helminiak's own Christology, which I found simply uninteresting. It may be that the book is, for me when I read it, forty years old, but there wasn't anything in the Christology that seemed to tread new ground. In the end, I put the book down with a shrug.
