Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Wound of Unknowing is a dogmatic Christology focused on Christ and the question of truth. The book follows the timeline of Jesus's life, considering the meaning of his birth, ministry, and death in the light of his Passion. Deeply indebted to the neo-Chalcedonian tradition, and engaging with a wide range of ancient and modern theologians, including Pseudo-Dionysius, Maximus the Confessor, Nicholas of Cusa, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Rahner, and Robert Jenson, it attempts to face the questions and implications forced by the scandalously simple confession that Jesus of Nazareth--Mary's son and Pilate's victim--is truly the Son of God and so the truth of all things, created and uncreated. The work provides a dogmatic grounding for preaching, catechesis, and pastoral care, as well as philosophical reasoning and speculation, by showing how truth is not something Jesus simply announces or models but something he establishes and reveals by how he lives and dies.
