Eclipse of Grace [PDF ebook] 
Divine and Human Action in Hegel

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
