Abstract
The ‘romantic vs. classic’ dispute in the literary field is proposed as a useful frame of reference from which to analyse, mend, and expand Bruce McCormack's latest theological model. The first part of the essay identifies several clashes of McCormack's theory with classical theism, explaining how their ontologies are mutually incompatible. The second part uses insights from romantic poetry and thinking in order to develop McCormack's concept of ‘ontological receptivity’ (in the Son) and introduce the new concept of ‘engaging’ (in Jesus) as its conceptual pair and to propose ‘affective unity’ as the basis for Christic unity. Throughout, an argument for the value of employing a psychological ontology in discourses about the God-human is shaped.

The International Journal of Systematic Theology has acquired a world-wide reputation for publishing high-quality academic articles on systematic theology and for substantial reviews of major new works of scholarship. Systematic theology, which is concerned with the systematic articulation of the meaning, coherence and implications of Christian doctrine, is at the leading edge of contemporary academic theology. The discipline has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last three decades, and is now firmly established as a central area of academic teaching and research.
