Experience and Language of Grace, The
theological groundwork
Already hailed as a landmark in contemporary Catholic theology, Jesus Symbol of God surveys scriptural data, the key moments in the development of doctrine, and the distinctive horizons of our contemporary world to develop a comprehensive and systematic christology for our time. The task of christology is to explain what it means to say that Jesus is the bearer and revealer of God in the Christian community, the decisive mediation of God's salvation -- or, in other words, the symbol of God.
Good overview, written before Haight developed a disordered attachment to his own theological opinions.
Haight charts the history of the church's self-understandings from the origins of the church in the Jesus movement to the late Middle Ages.
