Love Become Incarnate: Essays in Honor of Bruce D. Marshall

This Festschrift is dedicated to Bruce D. Marshall, the Lehman Professor of Christian Doctrine at the Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. Marshall is widely considered to be among the most influential Catholic theologians in the Anglophone world. His writings are emblematic of a Catholic theology that seeks for and uses all of the truth it can find, without fear, in order to best serve the Church.

Marshall made major advances in a number of key theological areas, including the Trinity theory, Christology, Pneumatology, ecclesiology, ecumenism, Jewish-Christian interaction, and fundamental theology. His primary theological companion has been St. Thomas Aquinas, but he has also contributed to our knowledge of Sts. Augustine and Anselm, John Duns Scotus, Martin Luther, Matthias Joseph Scheeben, Karl Barth, and many others. Marshall has produced a theology of Christ's supremacy that is at once original, robust, and comprehensive. Just thus Christ is the embodiment of God's love for humanity.

Marcia Colish, J. Augustine Di Noia, Paul Griffiths, Reinhard Hütter, Matthew Levering, and others write in this collection to discuss and expand upon Marshall's many theoretical and practical contributions to historical and systematic theology.
