description: Leading theologian Graham Ward presents a stimulating series of reflections on Christ and contemporary culture. * Takes as its starting point Niebuhr's famous volume on ‘Christ and Culture’ published in the 1970s * Explores representations of Christ from sources as diverse as the New Testament and twentieth-century continental philosophy * Considers Christ and culture in the light of contemporary categories such as the body, gender, desire, politics and the sublime * Develops an original and imaginative Christology rooted in Scriptural exegesis and concerned with today’s cultural issues * The author has been described as ‘the most visionary theologian of his generation’.
