Christ at the Crux

"Christ at the Crux offers a lively and ambitious analysis of how God's relation to the world has been conceived by a number of thinkers from across the Christian tradition. It is a book full of ideas, and both its historical and its constructive elements will provoke debate."

--John Webster, St. Mary's College, The School of Divinity, The University of St. Andrews, Scotland



"There are many ways of cutting a path through the forest of theological history. Paul Cumin takes us by way of thinkers who worried about the relation of a Creator to his creatures and encountered its crux in Christology. It proves an illuminating journey. And Cumin is a splendid guide, incisive and theologically insightful."

--Robert W. Jenson, The Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology, New Jersey



"In a series of lively, highly original, and deeply probing conversations with the theological tradition from Irenaeus to Colin Gunton, Paul Cumin explores the possibilities of a genuinely Christian theology of mediation. He shows critically and constructively what happens to theological reflection if we take the Trinitarian mediation of God seriously . . . . What appears as the critical crux of Christian faith becomes the cornerstone of theological reconstruction."

--Christoph Schwobel, Systematic Theology and Philosophy of Religion, University of Tubingen, Germany
