Christ without Absolutes: A Study of the Christology of Ernst Troeltsch (Clarendon Paperbacks)

About this book

Can Christians continue to worship Jesus Christ as the full final and "absolute" revelation of God in an age of historical relativism an expanding universe and the impinging of other world faiths on Western culture? This bold and penetrating study goes to the heart of the debate between traditionalists and liberals such as Ernst Troeltsch who would answer "no." Coakley argues that a liberal approach to Christology in fact opens up many new and liberating possibilities for the future of Christianity.
