Divine Eloquence and Human Transformation

Addressing a critical problem in theology and the interpretation of scripture raised by modern historical consciousness, Fulford argues for a reading of scripture centered in a Christological rubric and a pattern of triune action and presence, one which draws readers into fuller participation in the shaping of history in Christ. Comparing the theologies of Gregory of Nazianzus and Hans Frei, the book addresses the challenge of historicity and historical consciousness, argues for the relevance of pre-modern approaches to scripture, and enacts a theology of retrieval as a resource for contemporary scholarship.
