This volume offers an up-to-date, comprehensive perspective on the theological significance of Jesus Christ and his saving work. It orients the reader by tracing the principal developments in the New Testament and in later Church tradition, and by focusing on some of the main concerns of contemporary culture and the ways present-day Christologies try to resopnd to those issues. This study gives more attention to soteriology than often happens in traditional Christology. Finally, while the book offers a range of contemporary Christological proposals rather than one to the exclusion of others, a liberationist concern influences their presentation.
