Eclipse of Grace offers original insights into the roots
of modern theology by introducing systematic theologians and
Christian ethicists to Hegel through a focus on three of his
seminal texts: Phenomenology of Spirit, Science of Logic,
and Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion.
* Presents brilliant and original insights into Hegel’s
significance for modern theology
* Argues that, theologically, Hegel has been misconstrued and
that much more can be gained by focusing on the logic that he
develops out of an engagement with Christian doctrines
* Features an original structure organized as a set of
commentaries on individual Hegel texts, and not just presenting
overviews of his entire corpus
* Offers detailed engagement with Hegel’s texts rather than
relying on generalizations about Hegelian philosophy
* Provides an illuminating, accessible and lucid account of the
thinking of the major figures in modern German philosophy and
theology
