Christology

Summary: An excellent overview!
Review: Mr. Schwarz has written a good summary of the field of Christology. Not something that is easily done.

He opens the book by defining the Christological problem that has plagued Christians for many centuries; how is the Jesus of earth related with the Christ of faith?

Hans then moves through important and historical thinkers on the subject. This section of the book is a little dry, but still worth the read.

Finally, Hans launches into his own interpretation of Christology. I found his outlook on the subject and very readable.

If you are interested in the subject of Christology, I would highly recommend this book.

Summary: Theologically solid and readable Christology--excellent
Review: This text on Christology provides an extensive and well informed overview of the history of doctrinal thought on Jesus of Nazareth up to and including modern theological considerations. It is very readable, especially for a translation from German. In this age when people calling themselves "Christians" deny Christ, Schwarz's text is very much needed. Every modern Christian should read and digest the information and arguments presented in this book.
