Leading theologian Graham Ward presents a stimulating series of
reflections on Christ and contemporary culture.
* Takes as its starting point Niebuhr’s famous volume on
‘Christ and Culture’ published in the 1970s
* Explores representations of Christ from sources as diverse as
the New Testament and twentieth-century continental
philosophy
* Considers Christ and culture in the light of contemporary
categories such as the body, gender, desire, politics and the
sublime
* Develops an original and imaginative Christology rooted in
Scriptural exegesis and concerned with today’s cultural
issues
* The author has been described as ’the most visionary
theologian of his generation’.
