Darren Sumner is Affiliate Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary ,USA.Chris Tilling is Tutor and Senior Lecturer in New Testament Studies at St. Mellitus College, UK.

This is an extraordinarily rich collection of essays by leaders in the fields of biblical studies, historical theology and systematics. The coverage of topics is impressively comprehensive, and not only introduces key themes in Christology but advances our understanding. This book is a must-have for any preacher or theologian who wishes to take the person of Jesus Christ seriously. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
