Reviews
"""Oberg writes a fine phenomenology of 'theological turn.' While affirming the humanity of Yeshua, he invites us who see the incarnation of Jesus as central to Christian faith out of the hidden Docetism that unknowingly lurks in what passes for orthodoxy. He provides us with a sorely needed call to think theology while always respecting the mysterium fidei. His is a 'philotheology' both creative and cogent, where cross and 'kingdom' are indispensable to fidelity."" --Vincent J. Pastro, Aquinas Institute of Theology ""Using scholarship from Japanese philosophy and religion, 'weak theology, ' and iconography, Oberg makes a compelling case for a compassionate orthopraxy rather than a retributive orthodoxy. . . . For those of us who have moved beyond supernaturalism, this is a carefully thought-out book of optimism and hope, rooted in Christ as an event."" --Steven M. Watkins, University of Louisville"
