Christ and the Spirit Spirit-Christology in Trinitarian Perspective

This is a study of Spirit-Christology--a contemporary theological model of the relationship between Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Del Colle measures this christological model against trinitarian theology and tests its viability. He investigates in particular the development of a Roman Catholic Spirit-Christology, which has arisen from within the modern neo-scholastic theological tradition. Contrary to other interpreters, Del Colle argues that an incarnational christology and aSpirit-Christology are not conflicting but complementary and that this is recognized by the older and deeper tradition. In conclusion, he seeks to demonstrate the productivity of the Spirit-Christological model in reference to three major areas of concern for contemporary systematic theology: culturalpluralism and diversity, emancipation and social praxis, and inter-religious dialogue.Del Colle, Ralph is the author of 'Christ and the Spirit Spirit-Christology in Trinitarian Perspective' with ISBN 9780195077766 and ISBN 0195077768.
