About this book

'Christ tackles the whole of the New Testament canon and inquires what the earliest Christian documents had to say about "Jesus, who is the Lord' ... Though Schillebeeckx is not a professional New Testament scholar, he appears to have mastered the available material as completely as anyone can hope to - and kept his head in the process. There are dozens of individual judgments that could, and surely will, be quibbled about ... But short of going over the whole ground again - a decade's work - it is difficult to fault his exegesis or his main interpretative scheme' (Peter Hebblethwaite in The Times Literary Supplement),
'Not for nothing is Edward Schillebeeckx a member of the Order of Preachers. The chief virtue of his great christological work is its unrelenting and courageous determination to embrace all the essential elements in the task of commending the Christian gospel. In the first volume, Jesus, he showed how the claims of faith concerning Jesus may be grounded in the evidence of the Gospels, handled critically.
