EBOOK Christology:A Biblical, Historical, and Systematic Study of Jesus

In this fully revised and updated second edition of his accessible account of        systematic Christology, Gerald O'Collins continues to challenge the contemporary        publishing trend for sensationalist books on Jesus that are supported neither by the        New Testament witness nor by mainline Christian beliefs.This book critically        examines the best biblical and historical scholarship before tackling head-on some        of the key questions of systematic Christology: does orthodox faith present Jesus        the man as deficient and depersonalized? Is his sinlessness compatible with the        exercise of a free human will? Does up-to-date exegesis challenge his virginal        conception and personal resurrection? Can one reconcile Jesus' role as universal        Saviour with the truth and values to be found in other religions? Whatshould the        feminist movement highlight in presenting Jesus? This integral Christology is built        around the resurrection of the crucified Jesus, highlights love as the key to        redemption, and proposes a synthesis of the divine presence through Jesus. Clear,        balanced, and accessible, this book should bevalued by any student reading        systematic theology, anyone training for the ministry in all denominations, as well        as interested general readers.
