With simplicity and elegance, Tanner sketches a historically informed
vision of the faith. Chapter 1 recovers strands of early Christian
accounts of Jesus and his significance for a very different age.
Chapter 2 situates Christology in a religious vision of the whole
cosmos, while Chapter 3 lays out the ethical and political
implications of the vision. Chapter 4 speculates about the "end" of
things in Christ. Tanner's work was developed from the Scottish
Journal of Theology lectures in 1999 in Edinburgh.
