`Review from previous edition He uses a wide-angled lens, and
allows many aspects of the subject to come within his field of
vision. The treatment throughout is orthodox and ecumenical ... the
book's virtue is its assured combining of biblical material with
questions in systematic theology. In more manageable compass than
other books in the field, it offers what almost amounts to a
textbook, at least of the biblical stuff.'
Church Times
`In an age of academic fragmentation and discipline
(sub)specialization, rarely does someone dare a comprehensive
statement in a major area of research. It is therefore refreshing
to find a work such as this. The scope of O'Collins' Christological
accounting is breathtaking ... Carefully and lucidly written, the
book is appropriate for anyone interested in Christology. This is a
mature book from a seasoned scholar on an important subject.'
Choice
`Gerald O'Collins ... has written a splendid introduction to
Christology. No doubt the fruit of many years teaching and
reflection it will quickly, I am sure, establish itself ... as a
standard text-book. His historical survey, Old Testament to the
modern day is masterful, and particularly strong up to Chalcedon
... It is certainly a book I will be encouraging students to
buy.'
New Directions

work deserves the greatest respect...This is a volume for which all
who are concerned with Christology will be grateful.'
