Christ and the Spirit

"Del Colle's thesis--that a full-blooded Trinitarianism and a firm insistence on the complete humanity of Christ are entirely compatible--is of immense significance to Christian theology today. The author's technical competence in presenting the historical material, his subtle constructive reflections, and his concluding demonstration of the fruitfulness of his solution for other problems are all signs of a first-rate mind. With this book Del Colle could emerge as one of the most powerful figures in the rising generation of Christian theologians in the U.S."--Geoffrey Wainwright, Robert E. Cushman Professor of Christian Theology, Duke University "[Christ and the Spirit] unfolds within the world of scholastic theology. Del Colle is a brilliant expositor of that world; he has mastered the distinctions and the arguments; he works within its logic. As a historical theologian Del Colle is objective, fair, and completely irenic in laying out the positions he considers."--Theological Studies "Ralph Del Colle's study is an important book."--Theology "This is a remarkably fine and interesting study....It is one of those books whose promise and direction are evident from the beginning."--Modern Theology "Del Colle's work is an important contribution."--Journal of Ecumenical Studies "Del Colle's thesis--that a full-blooded Trinitarianism and a firm insistence on the complete humanity of Christ are entirely compatible--is of immense significance to Christian theology today.

Of interest to systematic theologians who want to connect traditional dogmatic discussions with contemporary contextual issues."--Religious Studies Review "Del Colle has done us all generous service in illuminating the issues and suggesting directions for further reflection. He himself is singularly well equipped to deepen what he has so well begun."--Pro Ecclesia
