This study brings together the reflections of international
scholars on the state of contemporary christology, that branch of theology which
reflects on the person and significance of Jesus of Nazereth. It begins by
inquiring into christology's starting point, especially in the light of the
many portraits of Jesus which now claim a place in the debate. It then moves to
a consideration of some of the 'classical' sources which have shaped
christology, including the Bible and patristic literature. The significance of
the transition from the classical world to our pluralistic context is taken up
in a series of essays which examine Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, African and Native
American considerations of Christ. In a concluding section, scholars investigate
the attempts made by contemporary theologians to translate faith in Christ into
a concrete agenda for life in specific contexts. This comprehensive study
highlights the plurality which characterizes contemporary christology, and the
richness and complexity of the Myriad Christ.
