Christology: A Guide for the Perplexed

Autor Rev Dr Alan J. Spence
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2008
Today Christology is of concern to both New Testament scholars and theologians alike and continues to provoke debate within the Church. Christology: A Guide for the Perplexed examines the key debates and defining moments in the early Church and the Reformation. After a brief introduction providing a basic definition of Christology, this historical background provides an essential foundation on which to outline later developments in Christology. Alan Spence then considers the Quest for the Historical Jesus, the work of the major theologians in this area including Barth and Schleiermacher, and from the present day, N.T. Wright and Pannenberg, and explores the contemporary arguments within the field of Christology.

Recenzii

The excellent seris of introductions entitled A Guide for the Perplexed has a worthy addition in Alan Spence's Christology.
Clearly written and made more accessible for the general reader by its brief chapters and halpul headings. [...] the book is useful and well argued.
[Alan Spence] offers a lucid historical and conceptual introduction to classical and modern Christology... This historical background provides an essential foundation on which to outline later developments and discuss contemporary approaches to the subject.
Spence's book serves as an excellent introductory summary that helpfully clarifies the complex and contentious issue of Christology.
Christology is a useful book as we continue to refute error and pursue a biblical understanding of Christ amid the swirl of theological 'innovation'.
In this book, Alan Spence introduces the reader to the trajectories of both classical and modern Christology, with an equal part devoted to both. He presents his role as that of a host who is required to introduce a late arrival (the reader) to two groups of distinguished guests (church fathers and modern theologians) at a dinner party. His role is to connect the newcomer to the conversation that has been going on between the two groups. Spence is a good guide to both groups, although he seems on surer footing in describing classical Christology. In reality, though, Spence is more than a host, for he has his contribution to make.
The first part of the book offers a concise summary of the most important concepts involved in Christology.
This admirably lucid book fills an extremely important gap in the theological market, offering a historical and conceptual introduction to classical and modern Christology. While allowing it to speak for itself, Spence weaves the material into a sensitive meta-narrative, thus offering a coherent and digestible account of the development of Christology. In doing so he brings conceptual clarity to the conundrums encountered along the way, and above all highlights what exactly was at stake at each stage.
