The Christology of the New Testament"The author takes each of the New Testament titles of Christ and examines what they meant to the world to which Jesus came, whether in orthodox Judaism, in circles like those of Qumran, or in the Hellenistic world. He goes on to investigate how much we can know of Jesus' own attitude to, and use of, each title. Finally, he discusses the way each of these concepts shaped and was shaped by the thinking of the early Church. His conclusion is that New Testament Christology does not date from the experience of the early Church, but goes back to the life and 'self-consciouness' of Jesus himself."--Jacket |
