LIVING WITH RISK AND DANGER - MIKKEL GABRIEL CH...

The contemporary world is marked by a sense of vulnerability not seen since the end of the Cold
War. Climate change  migration  and political instability make people feel the inherent
vulnerability of human life. 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? Does the Christian symbol system
offer orientation for human lives in a time of crisis? Exploring the work of leading
contemporary thinkers  Danish theologian Mikkel Gabriel Christoffersen develops a rich and
varied account of Christian doctrine that enables human beings to live with risk and danger  in
all vulnerability  with gratitude  courage and care for others. Christoffersen develops an
interdisciplinary approach that allows him to draw upon sociological and anthropological
reflections on life lived whilst facing risks and dangers. He brings these findings into
conversation with Scandinavian  Anglo-American  and German theologians of risk. The result of
his endeavor 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. Focusing
on vital existential questions makes Christoffersen's considerations vibrant and relevant to
scholars and lay-people with an open-minded  intellectual interest in contemporary Christian
theology.
