Origins of New Testament Christology

Professor Marshall describes the origins of New Testament Christology a subject 'vast in scope, unencompassable in its bibliography and daunting in its problems'. Undaunted, he skilfully outlines the various approaches to its origins, considers some of the main issues, and offer some critical comments upon them.The book is thus an admirable guide to the debate about Christology. But it goes further in offering a viable approach to constructing a Christology that is rooted firmly in both the pre-Easter period and the resurrection of Jesus.In a postscript to this new edition, Dr Marshall briefly traces the course of the continuing debate and surveys some of the key contributions to it.
