Hi Mishel,

I read the article. I found it very interesting. I think that theoretically, you could be right. Christology is my other area of research and the article interested me from that point of view. The whole movement to immanence really began with the Logos theology and Logos Christology of the time of Clement of Alexandria and Justin Martyr. It experienced a revival in the mid nineteenth century, even harnessing evolution as a sign of the immanence of God in the world. Immanence and evolution both worked as twin concepts. working together to produce a synthesis which resulted to some degree in the type of Christ-consciousness thinking you mention. So, that is why I say you are theoretically, I think, correct. Whether, however, you are adding two and two together and making five, I don't know, but I admit to not being the best judge of such things. I've spent too much time in academia and too little time at the church face to really know quite what is going on at the mo. However, I do think the article captures the flavour of the spirit of the age, as it were, based on the research I have done and it really interests me that you have seen this too, as I rarely get a chance to discuss such matters. I know all that probably sounds very confusing, but when I have more time, I will try to be more clear about what I mean. In the meantime, it is great to find this site and to be able to explore these issues.
