Metaphor Of God Incarnate (Revised)
$40.00Add to cartIn this groundbreaking work, John Hick refutes the traditional Christian understanding of Jesus of Nazareth. According to Hick, Jesus did not teach what was to become the orthodox understanding of him: that he was God incarnate who became human to die for the sins of the world. Further, the traditional dogma of Jesus’ two natures-human and divine-cannot be explained satisfactorily, and worse, it has been used to justify great human evils. Thus, the divine incarnation, he explains, is best understood metaphorically. Nevertheless, he concludes that Christians can still understand Jesus as Lord and the one who has made God real to us. This second edition includes new chapters on the Christologies of Anglican theologian John Macquarrie and Catholic theologian Roger Haight, SJ.

Christian Theology Of Religions
$33.00Add to cartJohn Hick examines the intellectual problems facing Christians in the late twentieth century. Where exactly does Christianity fit into the scheme of the world in light of other world religions? and is it possible to remain Christian while accepting the truth of other beliefs? Hick explores the validity of other religions and Christianity’s place among them, and argues that it is no longer tenable to believe that Christianity is the only true religion. Hick argues for a new understanding of the uniqueness of Christianity among world religions. John Hick is a fellow at the University of Birmingham, England.
