Description: Symbols of Jesus by Robert Cummings Neville Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Symbols of Jesus is a systematic theology focusing on what makes Jesus important in Christianity. Robert Cummings Neville, a leading philosophical theologian, here presents and illustrates a theory of religious symbols according to which God is directly engaged in symbolically shaped thinking and practice. Publisher Description This is a systematic theology focusing on what makes Jesus important in Christianity. It studies six families of symbols about Jesus, showing how they are true for some people, not true for others, and not meaningful for a third group. Divine creation is analysed in metaphysical and symbolic terms, and religious symbolism is shown to be wholly compatible with a late-modern scientific world view. Robert Cummings Neville, a leading philosophical theologian, presents and illustrates an elaborate theory of religious symbols according to which God is directly engaged in symbolically shaped thinking and practice. Symbols are not distancing substitutes for God. Theology of symbolic engagement is defended as an alternative to doctrinal or descriptive theology. This major work re-shapes the way we think about Jesus, and will be of value to students, academics, clergy with theological training, and others grappling with the meaning and importance of religious symbols in our age. Author Biography Robert Cummings Neville is Professor of Philosophy, Religion, and Theology at Boston University and Dean of the Boston University School of Theology.
