Jesus Humanity and the Trinity by Kathryn Tanner
This theological work presents Kathryn Tanner's Scottish Journal of Theology lectures delivered in Edinburgh in 1999. The book offers a historically informed vision of Christian faith through four comprehensive chapters that examine Christology, Trinitarian theology, and their implications for contemporary religious thought.
Comprehensive Theological Framework
Chapter 1 recovers strands of early Christian accounts of Jesus and examines his significance for modern theological discourse. Tanner approaches these ancient texts with scholarly rigor while maintaining accessibility for graduate-level theological study.
Chapter 2 situates Christology within a religious vision of the entire cosmos, exploring the relationship between Christ and creation. This cosmological perspective provides a framework for understanding Jesus's role in the broader theological landscape.
Chapter 3 addresses the ethical and political implications of Trinitarian theology. Tanner demonstrates how theological concepts translate into practical applications for Christian ethics and political engagement.
Chapter 4 speculates about eschatological themes, examining the "end" of things in Christ and what this means for Christian hope and theological understanding.
Academic Credentials and Context

Published by Augsburg Fortress Publishing in June 2001, this paperback serves as a seminary textbook and pastoral resource. The work is suitable for graduate-level religious studies programs and academic theology courses focused on Christology and Trinitarian doctrine.
Theological Approach
Tanner's methodology combines simplicity with elegance, making complex theological concepts accessible without sacrificing scholarly depth.
