The book offers a new Trinitarian and Christological reading of Christ's cry of dereliction that is grounded in historic orthodoxy. Arguing for an interpretation of the cry in relation to the communication of idioms in Christology and the modal distinction between person and nature in Trinitarian theology, the book draws from a broad range of Patristic, Scholastic and Reformed sources. This work is a must for scholars of Christian theology.
This lucid and engaging work, an expanded version of the author s doctoral thesis under Lewis Ayres, seeks to clarify the meaning of Christ s cry of dereliction from the cross . this is a small gripe, in what is an uncommonly rich and sure-footed study.
