In this stimulating work of global Christology, noted scholar Jacob Parappally develops critiques of Western Christian preoccupations with dogmas and doctrines about Jesus Christ that “do not let the mystery of Christ be experienced by those who do not share” Jewish, Greco-Roman, Mediterranean, and European perspectives.
