How Is God Present with Us | John Webster

2007 Kantzer Lecture #1 - Immanuel, God's Presence With Us In this first lecture, John Webster introduces the project at hand. Webster first reviews several proposals for the nature of Christ’s presence to us that have been offered in the last half-century, he then goes on to outline his own proposal. Webster indicates that in the coming lectures, the question of fellowship will go beyond the nature of God’s presence with us in the incarnation. Ultimately, the nature of God’s presence with humanity will be grounded in the divine perfections themselves. John B. Webster (1955-2016) (PhD University of Cambridge) was a notable contemporary British theologian of the Anglican Communion writing in the areas of systematic, historical and moral theology. His major publications included Eberhard Jüngel: An Introduction to his Theology (Cambridge University Press, 1991), Barth’s Ethics of Reconciliation (Cambridge University Press, 1995), The Cambridge Companion to Karl Barth (Cambridge University Press, 2006), and Holy Scripture: A Dogmatic Sketch (Cambridge University Press, 2012). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
