Book Synopsis

This excellent volume explores the Christology of the New Testament from critical, historical, exegetical, and theological perspectives. Covering all of the Christian scriptures from the Gospels to Revelation, the book presents a detailed portrait of the person and work of Jesus.While written by firstclass biblical scholars, "Contours of Christology in the New Testament" is nonetheless immediately accessible to general readers and relevant to everyday life. In addition to steeping readers in the biblical texts, these studies show how a proper understanding of New Testament Christology can help us to think and act more Christianly in the church and the world today. Contributors: David E. Aune, Richard Bauckham, Terence L. Donaldson, Donald A. Hagner, Morna D. Hooker, William Horbury, Richard N. Longenecker, I. Howard Marshall, Ralph P. Martin, J. Ramsey Michaels, Douglas J. Moo, Philip H. Towner, Ben Witherington III
