Description

Christology can no longer be confined to the task of making philosophical sense of the figure of Jesus of Nazareth in terms of the formulation of the “two natures in one person” doctrine derived from the early Christian centuries. Christian theology is now required to interpret the impact and person of Jesus of Nazareth by responding to critical demands from many perspectives.  What Christ? Whose Christ? therefore explores the Christological challenge by paying attention to a number of different perspectives, each bringing their own specialist lens to bear. These include Jesus of History research, recognition of differing historical and cultural contexts from the classical period to the present day, feminist perspectives, post-colonial and race studies, and developments from the field of interfaith theology. Each of these specialisms represent substantial fields of study and each therefore approaches any relevance for Christology with searching questions and considerable intellectual force. Significant for the essays in this book is reliance on the full humanity of Jesus as a figure of history who is capable of being received in new ways according to the requirements of a range of disciplines and who in turn remains capable of mediating the presence of divine reality for our times.
