The Many Faces of Christology by Tyron L. Inbody (English) Paperback Book

The Nile on eBay   The Many Faces of Christology by Tyron L. Inbody

The Many Faces of Christology surveys the landscape of traditional and contemporary thought about Jesus. Inbody first grounds his survey in a concise discussion of research into Jesus as a historical person and explores the implications and relevance of that research for contemporary christological thought. In chapter two he outlines classical christology and trinitarian thought and then provides a preliminary sketch of a contemporary trinitarian christology that emphasizes relationship more than understanding the exact nature of God. In chapters three, four, and five, Inbody surveys the basic positions and contributions of evangelical, liberal/process and postliberal (including liberationist), and feminist/womanist christologies.In his final three chapters, Inbody uses christology to answer three key questions:— Is atonment theology nothing more than "divinely sanctioned abuse?"— What is the relationship of Christianity to Judaism?— Is Christianity the one true path?This critical, mainstream survey provides pastors and seminarians an authoritative and comprehensive volume on the subject.
