Books on the historical Jesus abound in both the scholarly market and the popular press. Few of these recent studies, however, draw on the entire witness of Scripture and tradition when engaging the contemporary debate over the meaning and significance of Jesus of Nazareth. Bringing together both the pursuit of the historical Jesus and the systematic exposition of the Christ of faith, Hans Schwarz here presents a solid historical and biblical introduction to Christology that demonstrates the relevance of Jesus for today. After surveying the history of New Testament scholarship and exploring the biblical testimony itself, Schwarz restates important Christological themes in ways that connect them with present-day concerns. Schwarz includes in his discussion his own proposal for constructing a Christology "from below" that also takes seriously the resurrection. Clear and well organized, this volume is an excellent resource for discussing Christological themes within the context of today's historically oriented academy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Theologically solid and readable Christology--excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Christology (Paperback)
This text on Christology provides an extensive and well informed overview of the history of doctrinal thought on Jesus of Nazareth up to and including modern theological considerations. It is very readable, especially for a translation from German. In this age when people calling themselves "Christians" deny Christ, Schwarz's text is very much needed. Every modern Christian should read and digest the information and arguments presented in this book.
