Christology

Books on the historical Jesus abound, yet few of these studies draw on the entire witness of Scripture and tradition when engaging the contemporary debate over the 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. Schwarz surveys the history of New Testament scholarship, examines the biblical record itself, and restates the major Christological themes in ways that connect them with present-day concerns. Clear and well organized, this volume is, in the words of Carl E. Braaten, "the best available one-volume textbook on Christology."
