The doctrine of the person of Jesus Christ stands central to the Christian faith. "It was because he was who he was that Jesus Christ did what he did," says Fuller in the opening sentences of this learned survey of the place of Christ in Christian experience, confession and belief. As Fuller sees it "the Church's Christology was a response to its total encounter with Jesus, not only in his earthly history but also in the Church's continuing life". The author offers a comprehensive and thorough survey of the Christological position based on the insights of international scholarship. The book shows the continuity between the historical Jesus and the witness and message of the post-resurrection church, exploring how this has been obscured in New Testament scholarship. But at the same time Fuller applies the vigorous "traditio-historical" criticism which yields many positive results.
