Christian Understandings of Christ

Theology

“Jesus is reported to have asked his disciples, ‘Who do you say that I am?’ David H. Jensen has given us an illuminating and accessible overview of how Christians have answered this question, from New Testament times to the present. With skill and care, he locates each author in their context and highlights their key ideas and emphasis. His excellent summaries interspersed with insightful commentary make for highly rewarding reading. The number, range, and variety of Christologies presented here from around the globe is amazing. If you’ve ever wondered what Christians have thought of Jesus, this book is for you.”

The Spirit Shaped Church

Theology

“What is an appropriate ecclesiology for the church amidst India's religious pluralism, cruel poverty, caste oppression, and the multiple religious belonging of many of its people? Swarup Bar presents here a creative new understanding of the church, a permeable Spirit ecclesiology. Grounded in Christ yet open in the Spirit, it is a vision of the church that is at once faithful to the gospel and genuinely India. A remarkable and welcome accomplishment!”
