ABSTRACT
In several places the author have explored other ways in which Christian doctrine may be reconstructed in explicit dialogue with late modern developments in epistemology, ethics and metaphysics by attending to the existential dimensions of the human longing for truth, goodness and beauty. Challenging the ancient and early modern assumptions that contributed to logical impasses in the debates over foreknowledge, predestination and timelessness, the author incorporated a discussion of the relation of Jesus Christ to the Holy Spirit immediately into a presentation of the Christian doctrine of God. In addition to bringing theological doctrines into dialogue with contemporary philosophy, science and biblical scholarship, this way of organizing the themes also helped to display patterns and connections among doctrines that have not always been obvious. Engaging in the ongoing task of reforming Christology might help Christian theologians learn to become better inter-religious lovers too.
