Description
Jesus Becoming Jesus: A Theological Interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels by Thomas Weinandy and John C. Cavadini is a masterful exploration of the person of Jesus, presented in the context of the Gospels. This work offers a profound and faithful engagement with Vatican II's Dei Verbum, providing a rich and nuanced understanding of the saving acts of God as revealed in the biblical text. Through a thoroughly researched and beautifully written analysis, Father Weinandy provides an outstanding model for integrating biblical study with Christian doctrine. His approach is informed by a fully incarnational and trinitarian faith, which informs every page of his reading of the Gospels. The result is a sophisticated and attractive theology that seeks to forge a deeper understanding of the mysteries of Jesus' life. This book represents a significant new work in Christology, offering a full-scale systematic study of the life of Jesus. By exploring the events of the Gospel narrative, Weinandy forges a compelling theology that reveals the triune God's acts of salvation in the humanity of Jesus, enabling humans to enter into communion with the triune God.
