Every age needs to examine and propose its ways of living ethically.
Another Kind of Normal: Ethical Life II constructs a mode of such
living according to the Christian tradition, based upon an
interpretation of Christ's coming and the relationship of that
incarnation to God as the Creator of all things. In the second of four
volumes, Graham Ward explores an Augustinian vision of consonance
between divine rhythm and the rhythmic orders of creation. On the
basis of what Augustine calls the 'interval', it proposes Christ is
encountered as riddle, scandal, and paradox. It provides an account of
creation as a Trinitarian event that calls for a rethinking of what
are the key teachings in Christianity with respect to an understanding
of creation as a divine benediction and a theatre for transformation
and healing. Ward argues through Scriptural exegesis, for the
omnidirectionality of time as graced, rejecting a conception of linear
temporality and theologies indebted to that conception. Throughout,
participation in God, through our hiddenness in Christ develops an
account of the complex relationship between divine and human
creativity, appealing to music, painting, poetry, drama, film,
architecture, and novels.
