The question posed by the person and work of Jesus, "Who do you say that I am?" continues to lie at the heart of Christian faith. In this compelling collection, historical and contemporary perspectives combine to help us to revisit this enduring question and to reimagine how to speak of Christ in a changing world. - Professor Elaine Graham FBA, Chair of Trustees, Modern Church
This is a vital and vibrant collection of essays for our time. For more than a century, progressive theology has been making substantial and valuable contributions to the field of Christology. Bold, engaging and intelligent, these new essays also provide us with fresh, new insights into the person and promise of Jesus, and his continued significance for the world today, and for all our futures.
Who is Jesus Christ for us today? These wise and perceptive essays offer excellent material for study groups, and for any individual wanting to engage with some of the major challenges we face in the twenty-first century. - Professor Martyn Percy, Harris Manchester College, Oxford
"Who do you say that I am?" The question Jesus put to his first disciples has to be faced by each successive generation. And it lies behind every page of this prophetic, passionate and sometimes provocative book. The wide range of responses it receives bears its own witness to the continuing global appeal of this first-century Galilean rabbi. Everyone with an interest in why Jesus matters in the violent, fearful, eco-conscious age we live in would richly benefit from reading it. - Bishop Gordon Mursell, former Dean of Birmingham and former Bishop of Stafford
With attentiveness to historical and political as well as religious and interreligious considerations, What Christ? Whose Christ? gives expression to a polyphony of voices, bringing Christology into productive dialogue with feminist, liberation, Hindu, Buddhist, and other perspectives. The volume constitutes an important and provocative stimulation for further reflection on the significance of Jesus Christ in contemporary transnational and multicultural contexts. - Mikel Burley, Associate Professor of Religion and Philosophy, University of Leeds
