Jesus of Nazareth is not simply an unprecedented irruption or intervention of God upon the stage of history. The love of God which becomes actual in this truly human and historical life is continuous with the love that operates throughout it ... at the centre of things is the self-actualization of God in time, the self-differentiation through love of the eternal to become temporal.
Colin Gunton, Yesterday and Today, 1983, 2nd ed. 1997
