The Evolution of Christology

A healthy theology, says Thor Hall, is evolving... constantly adjusting itself, always able to adapt. Traditional Christology, however, is at odds with Einstein's dynamic universa and the new trends in cosmology. Yet one cannot deny scientific truth. Does this mean Christianity is doomed? Hardly, claims Dr. Hall. We must expand our theological horizons - evolve our Christology to a point where it encompasses all of space and time. It is obvious, he writes, that this new understanding of reality is bound to affect theology, and especially the Christian doctrine of the Trinity... Christian theology, shaped as it is in the interplay of trinitarian affirmations, must clearly be reformulated in the light of our present understanding of things. Here is a book that approaches this lofy task, In addition to his careful retracing of Christianity's biblical roots, Dr. Hall presents a timely and universal Christology for the space age.
