"This is quite an extraordinary book from David Bentley Hart, both for its theological content and also for its brevity, clarity, openness, and generosity. It makes sense of the deepest parts of the Christian theological tradition in ways which are both properly traditional and highly original." —John Behr, author of John the Theologian and His Paschal Gospel"The Light of Tabor is David Bentley Hart's theological testament, the summation of his life's work on the Bible, the cultures of antiquity, and the history of theology, all masterfully distilled into five compact and witty chapters." —Trent Pomplun, author of Jesuit on the Roof of the World"This is everything we have come to expect from David Bentley Hart: never shallow, never dull, sometimes creatively contrarian, always profound and fresh. He offers a radically original reading of the scriptural and patristic sources for orthodox Christology, showing how much we miss as a result of misunderstanding or watering down the basic claim that Christ is 'all in all.'" —Rowan Williams, former archbishop of Canterbury and author of Discovering Christianity"Nothing David Hart writes fails to get to the heart of the matter. The Light of Tabor is no exception. Hart beckons us anew to contemplate the mystery of Christ in all its familiar strangeness and strange familiarity. Beautifully written, characteristically capacious, productively polemical—a fitting diadem for a dazzling theological career." —Jordan Daniel Wood, author of The Whole Mystery of Christ"After Hart we can happily throw away most of our theology books." —John Milbank, author of Theology and Social Theory
