Summary
The Ordinary Transformed addresses a basic question about human existence and God's redemptive plan: What is the role of the worldly context in the Christian vision of transcendence? In exploring the importance and role of the concept of transcendence, R. R. Reno demonstrates the interpretive power of theology by showing how the troublesome but enduring concept of transcendence finds its fullest meaning within the logic of Christianity.
