A Post-Patriarchal Christology

This book offers deconstructive readings of classical texts from theChristian tradition. Working within a Heideggerian model of the "end ofmetaphysics," David Odell-Scott offers readings that radically alter theconventional understanding of the Chalcedonian Creed and of portions of I and IICorinthians. His deconstruction of metaphysical theology both clarifies thelogical impasse of the incarnation expressed in the Creed and sets Paulinethought against not only metaphysical thought but monotheism and a patriarchalchurch as well.
