Description
Christology can no longer be confined to making philosophical sense of Jesus of Nazareth. Instead, Christian theology is required to interpret the impact and person of Jesus by responding to critical demands from many perspectives. This book explores the Christological challenge by bringing together specialist lenses from various fields, including history research, feminist perspectives, post-colonial and race studies, and interfaith theology. The essays examine the relevance of these disciplines for understanding Christology, with a focus on the full humanity of Jesus as a figure capable of being received in new ways. The result is a nuanced exploration of the person and presence of Jesus, one that remains relevant to our times and opens up new possibilities for Christian theology.
