| Summary: | Climate change, migration and political instability make contemporary life in the Western world apear dangerous. This emphasizes the inevitability of running risks. Concepts of "risk" and "danger" are as relevant now as ever before for illuminating contemporary life. Yet, what changes in human lives if one interprets existence with risk and danger from the perspective of Christian faith? Makkel Gabriel Christoffersen reconsiders Christianity's potential for offering life orientation to humans living with risk. The author develops an interdisciplinary approach that allows him to draw upon sociological and anthropological reflections on life lived whilst facing risks and dangers. The result is a Trinitarian theology of risk that explores the extent to which one can consider the cross of Christ a risk of the incarnation rather than its very purpose. |
