This book is the second of a planned three-volulme systematic theology under the title, Confessions of a Heretic. Volume One, which has the subtitle, Philosophical Considerations, was published by Archway in 2024. The project now turns to Theological Considerations, with the forthcoming Volume Three being Ecclesiological Consideration. Organized into three Parts, Volume Two focuses on the theological endeavor, and the doctrines distinctive to Christianity, namely, the Trinity, Jesus Christ, sin, and salvation. Based on the foundational distinctions and defintions explicated in Volume One, the current volume seeks to ask what the philosophcial considerations imply for basic traditional understandings and terminology of Christian theology, including that of Jesus of Nazareth, his crucifixion and resurrection. The project as a whole adopts a trinitarian structure, with this second volume focused on “God the Son”, or, as here termed, ‘God’ the Perfector. The argument is that Christian Theology needs to shift from an anthropocentric to a theocentric approach, recognzing human beings simply as creatures, and having the courage to face what that entails. Yet doing so necessitates a radical reconceptualization of the very foundations of Christian Theology itself, in the attempt to combat idolatry.
