This analysis, written in 1975, provides good insights into the post-modern movement in American culture and its effect on thought and faith. Cobb takes a Process Philosophy approach to analyze ways to interpret the concept of Christ as incarnation of the Logos in Jesus, the historical person. He determines how this concept may be communicated in concepts of the contemporary worldview, and deals with the challenges to western thought in the post-enlightenment sciences, the role of reason and the post-modernist challenge of relativism of values.

Cobbs goes into some detail in comparing Christian faith and Buddhist faiths to illustrates how Christians might interact with other religions they now face in our pluralistic world.

The book also illustrates how important current worldviews, and the questions they ask, are in the statement of our formal propositions representing Christ, the Trinity and other respective aspects of the Christian faith.
