It is in Christ that time and eternity, history and metaphysics, hold together. This Christological conviction—and the relational understanding of reality that it entails—unites Andrew T.J. Kaethler and Sotiris Mitralexis’s extraordinary collection of essays. By no means do the authors agree on every point. But the relational ontology of love on display in this book flows from a shared, ever-deepening movement into the triune God of history.
