Hey! Crunch King!
"Christologies usually offered an image of Christ as a sublime abstraction. “Sublimity” as essential to an object of faith is obvious, but the “abstraction” is extremely dangerous. This abstraction is possible because the sublime title “Christ” is an adjective which only receives its specific value from the specificity of the noun, Jesus of Nazareth. If Jesus is forgotten, then it becomes possible to fill the adjective with whatever suits at the time, without checking whether Jesus was like that or not, or whether this means leaving the world sunk in its wretchedness or not; or worse still, without asking if this image legitimates the tragedy of the world or brings liberation from it."
