F. LeRon Shults here breaks new ground by explicitly bringing specific themes of Christology - Incarnation, Atonement, and Parousia - into dialogue with contemporary science - evolutionary biology, cultural anthropology, and physical cosmology.
Shults skillfully summarizes some of the popular constructive responses to these developments, offering a unique organization around three concrete case studies. After clarifying the way in which Christian understandings of God and of humanity shape the task of reforming Christology, each chapter concludes with a programmatic outline of ways in which we might articulate the identity, agency, and presence of Jesus Christ in dialogue with late modern science and culture.

F. LeRon Shults is professor of theology and philosophy at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway. His other books include Reforming the Doctrine of God and Christology and Science.
