By John B., Jr. Cobb Christ in a Pluralistic Age: [Paperback]

by John B. Cobb Jr.

In this approach to understanding the meaning of Christ in the present world the noted process theologian examines in depth two factors of modern experience which have obscured that meaning -- the "profane" consciousness of many people today and the wide acceptance of pluralism. The author then presents Christ as the image of a creative transformation that can lead to a deepening of Christian existence.

Reviews

[George · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is one of the best on Christology - it will change your view and give you a Jesus to connect to and to see creative transformation prior and after him. It gives one a view of the ongoing experience of God.

[Jared Winkler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book changed the way I think of God and how they relate to all of creation. It presents, in my opinion, a truly beautiful image.
