This seminar examines four recent attempts to reinterpret Christology in response to urgent issues facing the contemporary church. The four are: Marilyn McCord Adams, Christ and Horrors: The Coherence of Christology (2006); Gordon D. Kaufman, Jesus and Creativity (2006); Kathryn Tanner, Christ the Key (2010); and Graham Ward, Christ and Culture (2005). Students will be asked to write two 8-10 papers on two of these texts.
