An Analysis of Matthew Fox’s Mystical Immanence

This is the first major analysis of Matthew Fox’s panentheistic, creation-centered theology. Key influences in his thought are identified and particular attention is given to his use of the term ‘creation’ and the cosmic orientation of his thinking. There is also analysis of Fox’s work on the historical Jesus and his 'quest for the Cosmic Christ’, his understanding of ‘Wisdom’ (which focuses on the ‘sophiological problem’ within the Russian religious consciousness), his interpretation of liberation theology, and his theology of work.
