ATC 1997 "Who do you say that I am?" The Person and Mission of Jesus Christ

The eleven essays contained in this book were presented to the seventeenth Atlantic Theological Conference in Fredericton, New Brunswick, in the late spring of 1997. They are an attempt to set the contemporary Christological debate in its theological context by exploring the Biblical, Patristic, Medieval, Reformation and Modern ideas about the person and mission of Jesus Christ. Indeed, this volume offers modern Christians a chance to “refresh their memories with ideas about Jesus and his saving work which ought not to be regarded as dead facts in the dustbin of theology but as living ways of knowing both Jesus and ourselves” (from Anthony Bassett's The Present Challenge of Preaching Christ Crucified, p. 3).
