“The value of this book is not to be found only in its important constructive theological proposals. Almost as important as these is his persuasive and illuminating reading of Hegel and his ability to show Hegel's significance for the address of major contemporary theological issues.... Those who desire a solid and intellectually exciting introduction to Hegel's significance for contemporary theological issues could do no better than spend some time with this book.”
Theology
“Models of God is in fact a new systematic theology, indeed a new way of thinking about systematic theology ('metaphorical theology') and materially a radically new presentation of Christian themes . . . .It is dramatic and exciting.”
Theology
“A very distinctive and important new option for Christian theology. McFague proposes in a clear and challenging way a theological program based on what she calls 'the organic model' for conceiving God. Her model is in keeping with contemporary scientific understandings of the widely accepted common creation story and provides a good basis for reconceiving the Christian understanding of human existence in an ecologically ordered natural world. Very illuminating, with some brilliant insights.”
