Westminster Press

Originally published in 1963, Honest to God ignited passionate debate about the nature of Christian belief and doctrine in the white heat of a secular revolution. In addition, it articulated the anxieties of a generation who saw these traditional fundamentals as no longer acceptable or necessarily credible. Reissued on the 55th anniversary of the original publication, Honest to God remains a work of honest theology that continues to inspire many in their search for credible Christianity in today's world.

The human face of God

A comment from one reader: "The Human Face of God" is an academic work, but it is one of those rare pieces which sacrifices none of its scholarship while being quite accessible, even for the lay person. Robinson starts with the humanity of Christ and works his way up from there, resulting in a very, very high Christology, which I suspect will surprise those who think of Robinson as a liberal who considered Christ to simply be a good man. Far from it. Robinson pushes deep into the biblical portrait of the Christ, and he never sacrifices all the imagery and claims that the Bible makes possible for Christ. Moreover, he situates his Christology within the context of the debates and writings of the early church (most importantly, guarding against the heresy of docetism at ever turn), and he also stands in conversation with the great theologians of the Christian tradition, especially Thomas Aquinas and Karl Barth. Again, the scope of the scholarship is hard to even fathom, and the methodology is exquisite."

A standard work for Bible students by the author of _Redating the New Testament_ "One could say without exaggeration that the concept of the body forms the keystone of Paul's theology," contends the author. Robinson's book is the only comprehensive study that seeks to correlate Paul's language on the body. It knits together all of his great themes: the body of sin and death, in which man has fallen. It is through the body of Christ on the Cross that we are saved. It is into His body, the Church, that we are incorporated. It is through a resurrection of this same body that we are glorified. Here, with the exception of the doctrine of God, are represented all the main tenets of the Christian faith-the doctrines of Man, Sin, the Incarnation and Atonement, the Church, the sacraments, Sanctification, and Eschatology. This study of the body as the key to Paul's theology should be of interest to every serious student of the New Testament.
