Drawn from sources as diverse as the New Testament and twentieth-century continental philosophy, Ward develops his own original incarnational theology. From his exploration of contemporary categories such as the body, gender, desire, politics and the sublime, a Christology emerges that is both rooted in Scriptural exegesis and concerned with today's cultural issues; and a vision appears of the possibilities for living orientated towards the Good, the True, the Beautiful and the Just.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham Ward\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Contextual Theology and Ethics at the University of Manchester.
