God in History by Peter C Hodgson
"The value of this book is not to be found only in its importantconstructive theological proposals. Almost as important as these ishis persuasive and illuminating reading of Hegel and his ability toshow Hegel's significance for the address of major contemporarytheological issues.... Those who desire a solid and intellectuallyexciting introduction to Hegel's significance for contemporarytheological issues could do no better than spend some time with thisbook."-- Gordon D. Kaufman, Mallinckrodt Professor of DivinityEmeritus, Harvard Divinity School
"In this book, Hodgson uses Hegel's dialectical triadic logic todefine what he calls the triune figuration. His 'Trinity' is God theOne (rather than the Father), Love to and in the world (rather thanthe Son), and Freedom in history (rather than the Spirit).... Jesusin history is the Christian symbol of this historicized God. Historyis viewed not as a line of evolution nor a circle of recurrence but anopen spiral."-- Robert Paul Roth, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota
"I am convinced that Hodgson's position is developing a deeplythought-out and valuable attempt to tackle a major aporia incontemporary theology. Rather than a history of salvation, Hodgsonprefers a history of freedom...."-- Maurice Wiles, Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus, Christ Church, Oxford University
