Space, Time, and Incarnation

(i) to lay bare the ground on which modern Protestant theology has attempted to detach the message of the Christian Gospel from any essential relation to the structures of space and time; 

(ii) to examine the place of spatial and temporal ingredients in basic theological concepts and statements and to clarify the epistemological questions they involve; 

(iii) to offer a positive account of the relation of the incarnation to space and time, by penetrating into the inner rational structure of theological knowledge and letting it come to articulation within the context of modern scientific thought.

 The intention throughout is to further the clarifying, refining and deepening of these basic theological concepts without lapsing into unscientific reductionism, but with the hope of contributing to coherent and unitary understanding of the Christian Faith.
