In this groundbreaking volume Oliver Davies argues for a renewal of metaphysics, as the language of createdness, based not in a return to outmoded concepts of essence but in a dynamic new understanding of ontology as narrative and performance... Building on a new metaphysics of compassion that is attentive to the histories of the contemporary world, Davies offers a renewed systematic theology of divine speech and relation, focused in Jesus Christ, who, as the triadic ""Word"" of God, speaks creatively at the heart of human culture and action and who, as the redeeming ""Compassion"" of God, regenerates the world.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Oliver Davies</note> <subject> <topic>Christianity -- Theology -- Compassion</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Philosophy and religion</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230.01</classification> <classification authority="ddc">O48-D26</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802821218, 0802821219</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11539/38.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11539/38.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071028.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
