A challenging read for a worthy topic

This book is an incredibly dense read and I do not recommend it for casual reading. Gunton is laying out a complex theological argument for a Christology that is inherently creation centered, almost to the point of being panentheistic. He does this with a lot of dense exegetical work, teleological arguments about incarnation and soteriology, and closely packed references to a wide variety of modern and ancient theologians. If you can find someone who builds off his work in a more easily consumed manner, I encourage it, if you are willing to give this the attention it needs, it's a worthwhile read.
