|
MINNEAPOLIS – Fortress Press is happy to announce the release of Incarnation by Alister McGrath. The acclaimed theologian, one of the English speaking world's most accomplished religion thinkers, offers meditations on the simple reality of the Incarnation and Christmas. Astute and informed, McGrath models an earnest religious quest for the divine meaning and human import of Christian convictions as reflected in their development and in the artistic and literary treasures of the broader culture. Illuminated by a series of fine art paintings, McGrath's new volume seeks to engage both the mind and imagination as he explores why the Church set its faith and hope on the extraordinary, brilliant and bold idea that Jesus Christ is God incarnate. Poetry, prayer and theological reflection are interwoven with commentary on the ideas conveyed through works such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Ecce Ancilla Domini, Jacopo Bassano's Miraculous Draught of Fishes, and Vincent Van Gogh's Good Samaritan. "Oxford University's McGrath has distinguished himself not just as an historical theologian, but as a generous and witty writer who brings life to topics that would turn to dust in others' hands." – Publishers Weekly "Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style." – Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury Incarnation is part of the Truth and the Christian Imagination series. Creation, the first book in the series that released in December of 2004 was chosen as a Templeton Foundation Press Book of Distinction.
