4.0 out of 5 stars Form Critical Search for Christology of Jesus, April 12, 2001
By 
rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Christology of Jesus (Paperback)
Witherinton is good at what he does--plays the historial critical game and uses it against them.

Here his aim is clear: "I intend to state as much as I think is plausible about how Jesus viewed himself, particularly with respect to christological matters, in an attempt to associate Christian faith with the life of the Jesus of history."

He concludes that Jesus thought of himself as having a unique relationship with God, his Son and anointed with the eschatological Spirit, above all humans and angels. He saw himself taking on Isaiah's prophecy of Israel's representative suffering servant. Especially does all this tie in his title "son of man." When he comes to the question of deity, he hedges and waffles a bit.

Interesting read in the continuing search for the historical Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Experimental Christology, November 14, 2006
This review is from: The Christology of Jesus (Paperback)
The author sets forth a new interpretive entry into the mind of Christ through both his words and his relationships. He dialogues with major scholars from the New Quest for the Historical Jesus, as well as Biblical theologians using the form criticism criteria. He sets forth a connected thesis in his exegesis of representative texts from Mark and Q. This is a new landmark in Christology.

4.0 out of 5 stars An academic, important study of Jesus' self understanding, November 5, 1999
This review is from: The Christology of Jesus (Paperback)
A very sound book. Clearly demonstrates that there is enough biblical evidence to suggest that Jesus saw himself as the Messiah. He defends the historical integrity of key verses and does a good job of explaining the use of the title "Son of Man." An excellent book!
